There no problem if they dont get it all finished.....they just come with you and finish it off while the ship is at sea.:D

Actually Tiger, if there are more of you it is cheaper to book a suite or mini, than more than one cabin. We have friends who do just that. On the other hand, we can have more real cruises if we book the ordinary cabins. I know what I'd rather do. :D

 

group booking work for all cabins not just suites and mini suites, as per P&O booking and hand book, and all travel agents( oz)

Dock business cruises with refit job

 

BRISBANE'S economy is getting another multimillion-dollar injection from the cruise industry, with P&O's superliner Pacific Dawn to undergo refurbishment at a giant dock in Morningside.

The 70,000-tonne and 245 metre long ship sailed up the Brisbane River and into the Forgacs Cairncross dockyard on Saturday night ready for a two week overhaul.

 

The refurbishment includes a seven metre poolside entertainment screen, dedicated icecream parlour and new interconnecting family cabins.

 

The hull will be given a coat of more 5000 litres of paint and 5000 square metres of carpet will be laid in the ship's public areas and cabins.

Gosh, I wonder how many false teeth, rings and leck lasese (don't know what they are but I guess they must be valuable) before you can upgrade your booking to a suite.:eek:
