Ovation OTS 9 nights Pacific $899 Balcony. 14th Nov 2018 Plus $100 OBC.

 

Not combinable with C&A balcony discount. Not a great itinerary with an Overnight in Noumea (wny?) but love the ship so I have booked.

 

Best balcony price I have seen for Ovation.

That is a great price, tendering at the islands would be tedious though.

[Tara Jane]

All sold out now great deal though :)

I'm with you there. Probably why this cruise is so cheap. WHY would anyone do an overnight in Noumea.

 

Good thing is that the ship will be less crowded on those two days, the flowrider lines will be shorter and I might have a better shot at winning a key ring at trivia on those days.

 

This cruise is about the ship for us apart from a quick dip at Mystery Island.

[MicCanberra]

That is the beauty of the island cruises, we really only need a few hours ashore for a swim or snorkel and then head back to the ship and enjoy the spaciousness.

I wouldn't count on an empty ovation in Noumea!

The Solarium and pool area at the front will be chockers.

I believe the ships fuel up in Noumea so that's why they stop there. I been there five times. Can't say I've really enjoyed it except for the free wifi.

[MicCanberra]

HOHO bus to lemon bay and sit in La Barca for a bevvie is a nice pastime.

Its also one of the few ports where they can dock , rather than tender.

Only been there once, but Noumea is a dump IMO, cheap fuel for the cruise lines.:confused::(

No formal nights apparently, only theme nights (back to school, White Night, Gatsby). :)

No formal nights on P&O as mentioned, just theme nights. A lot of fun and lots of dancing.:D

Yes I think P& might not be the classiest ships, but they do some things very well.

On P&O? lololol

[Tara Jane]

Thats great that you were able to take advantage of the good deal. True P & O isnt celebrity or RCCL but you can still have a jolly good time if you go with the right attitude. Don't expect 5 star on 2 star prices. I expect the ship would be quite nice as it has recently had a make over. Friends will be getting off when you get on so I am looking forward to hearing what they think of the ship.

Any cruise is a good cruise (this will be my 35th and I can honestly say I've never had a bad one). We went on the Pacific Explorer last year and loved it so I'm really looking forward to it.

[Tara Jane]

Fantastic, then you know exactly what to expect. Enjoy .
