Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 3, 2016 #101 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Tomorrow (4th) I think. Pacific Eden is showing on the Marine Traffic website as heading for Melbourne and is due to arrive tomorrow morning. Really looking forward to hearing how it all goes.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted March 3, 2016 #103 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Wonder if they've started the scavenger hunt yet. Might be a bit early still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy1948 Posted March 4, 2016 #104 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wonder if they've started the scavenger hunt yet. Might be a bit early still. Could be starting anytime soon. Almost noon now. The suspense is killing me :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckiePuris Posted March 4, 2016 Author #106 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well...I did it! He was completely surprised and loved the news. What can I say - first impressions of Eden are amazing! Very very impressed and such a more boutique luxury feel than Dawn & Jewel. Pool decks and restaurants look fantastic as do the lifts and public areas. The stateroom is perfect, no signs of dated decor or condition. The bars and lounges look amazing and we can't fault a thing so far. Wish we were going to be on for longer! Will be sure to post a review when back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckiePuris Posted March 4, 2016 Author #107 Share Posted March 4, 2016 By the way scavenger hunt went really well! Had clues printed for each step. We visited a cafe for breakfast, had photos in a signature Melbourne laneway, a visit to the aquarium to see the amazing crocodiles and penguins, visit to a lolly shop, Vietnamese street food for lunch, a walk on the beach at Port Melbourne before announcing the boarding of the cruise.

LuckiePuris Posted March 7, 2016 Author #114 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hi all we are back! Had a great relaxing cruise and really enjoyed Eden. If we can, I'd like to do one or two short cruises a year as you really do ge the chance to unwind and relax. I'll be back this week with an objective review. Have gone in with an open mind and will be sure to mention the majority good experience, and small minor negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a couple more reads through - love the photo's - fabulous review. :) Though you did forget one thing - you covered everything - but what colour were the Captain's socks? :p (only kidding) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
