Hope you are well on the way to recovery. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandielle Posted July 22, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Someone has put on Facebook that the Captain on Pacific Jewel has just announced that departure for J122 is not leaving til tomorrow at 6am due to the weather. The poster said "Everyone is in great spirits and enjoying every minute!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tassie cruiser Posted July 22, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Have been talking with Debsta and Barnsey and yes they are staying overnight at wharf 5..... Sailaway at 6 in the morning... Debsta is cranky cause the casino not open..lol.. no, not really, they are having great time onboard.. They were told that safer to stay as the seas straight off Sydney are 8+ metres :eek: Prob not much fun as guessing a lot of the passengers would be first time cruisers.

The poster said "Everyone is in great spirits and enjoying every minute!!!" Enjoying themselves on the 'Floating RSL' ! LOL. I am sure the party is happening, even though they are tied up. When is the ship due back from this jaunt? As for the on board casino opening, I doubt it, whilst still in NSW ! or its waters. Just checked Kruze Cam, looks like Pacific Jewel is still in the Harbour, on way to the heads, Bon Voyage (again!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm66 Posted July 22, 2011 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If this is a true record - Jewel is afloat and making way! Bob Voyage Debsta - no longer the cruise going nowhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaneyT Posted July 23, 2011 #16 Share Posted July 23, 2011 We were on the Jewel J121, the weather was not that bad but we were 6.5hrs late...there could have been a breakdown I believe. Missed our flight, cost $1300 for two flights to get home, I'm sure if the ship was due to depart at 4pm & not 8pm we would have made the flights. I have been on the same sea in worst conditions with the same captain & still on schedule...the rest of the cruise was good but the feedback, info & departure was shocking...it was like we have your money, your not spending anymore on the cruise card so stiff....not happy at all.

tassie cruiser Posted July 24, 2011 #19 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Had a call from Barnsey and Debsta. They having a great time eventhough no sailaway party etc.... The first day there were lots of sick people :eek: Muster in the showlonge after they set off started lots of people off .... Poor things.... Probably a good thing if they stay anchored for while, wouldnt be nice feeling sick, a normal cruise wouldnt be so bad as you would have lots more days but as this is only 3 day,,, Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandielle Posted July 24, 2011 #20 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I see they are back at the OPT. No doubt Deb will be here later to give us the low-down. :D (Apart from what happens on the ship stays on the ship! ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neicy& Ron Posted July 24, 2011 #21 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Poor poor first time cruisers. Doubt that many would go back after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissusH Posted July 27, 2011 #22 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Poor poor first time cruisers. Doubt that many would go back after that. Hubby and I were first timers, actually there was a lot. Speaking just for us, though a bit sad to set sail so late, we still got to enjoy the floating hotel and all it had to offer. P & O can't help the weather, I do hope other first timers take that into consideration. I know we had lots of fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
