kiwi sailor Posted September 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2010 P&O are pushing the fact that "Pacific Pearl" will be NZ first Superliner, so one would hope that all charges on board will be in NZ dollars. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted September 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Would be nice for the Aussies on board if prices were in NZ, but then they would be charging NZ$9 for a beer, so nothing would change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolls Posted September 2, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I wonder if the ship will be registered a New Zealand ship or Australian ship - as the naming ceremony is being held Auckland?:confused: Regards Roland 2002 Pacific Sky (September from Sydney) 2003 Pacific Sky (September from Sydney) 2004 Pacific Sky (August from Auckland) 2005 Pacific Sun (August from Sydney) 2006 Pacific Sun (September from Sydney) 2007 Pacific Star (September from Brisbane) 2011 Pacific Pearl (January from Auckland) P102N:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted September 2, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I wonder if the ship will be registered a New Zealand ship or Australian ship - as the naming ceremony is being held Auckland?:confused: Existing ships are registered in the UK (as they're still part of P&O UK despite operating as a separate brand), so I'd expect this would be as well. The naming ceremony is really just 'ceremonial.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The naming ceremony is really just 'ceremonial.' Not all are regististered in the Uk. I think it depends on which Bank , Finance Company or Super Fund owns them..

Sandielle Posted September 2, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2010 When did these change, David. Last I heard, the Pacific Sun was registered in Malta a month or so ago, thus spawning all the rumours about her being sold by the end of the year, (P&O say not true) and the Pacific Dawn still had London on it in June.

Bella cruiser Posted September 2, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Pacific Sun is still showing Valetta as her registry port painted on her stern and flying the Maltese Flag in the photos a friend took of her two weeks ago, so I don't think this has changed again.

All I am going on is what I read on the Krooz cams page that gives facts for each ship. That info may be out of date , as I know the registration of each ship can change each year. http://www.kroooz-cams.com/POindex.html Please update , if that is wrong.

kiwi sailor Posted September 2, 2010 Author #12 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Would be nice for the Aussies on board if prices were in NZ, but then they would be charging NZ$9 for a beer, so nothing would change. Well it looks like the NZ Peso won't be any good on board then. Surely they won't torture us with only having Aussie Beer on board. But hang on, don't we own most of the Aussie breweries?:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific Sun is still showing Valetta as her registry port painted on her stern and flying the Maltese Flag in the photos a friend took of her two weeks ago, so I don't think this has changed again.

Sorry, I forgot about the Pacific Sun change! The others are still UK as far as I know though. Still wouldn't expect the Pearl to be Australian or NZ but leaves it an open question as to whether it goes to the UK or Malta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
