NSWP Posted April 9, 2019 #76 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) They still have not gone to Bunnings for a load of white paint to cover the ex HAL blue hulls. We had better have a 'whip round' to buy some paint for poor old P&O Straya. Edited April 9, 2019 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link: https://www.cruisecritic.com.au/news/3957/ According to this article she has left dry dock with the CMV paint job. So I assume someone has seen her as Vasco da Gama.

VK3DQ Posted April 9, 2019 Author #81 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well now looking back would we travel on Pacific Aria or P& O again???? Well yes BUT only if there was not something else the ship and service was OK but more akin to a Ferry Crossing than a cruise Just about evry window of the ship was filthy and spoilt any sea views . Likewize our balconly was filthy almost unusable the furniture on the balconly was old tatty and dirty The exterior of the ship needed urgent attention rust streaks all over the place and the blue hull paint in desparate need of a repaint Crew were fine , food was quite ok inside furnishing was good plenty of places to sit and enjoy Entertainment was quite good Internet was a ripoff slow expensive and unusable for many hours at a time This is Nothing like RCL or Princess coming as we were from our last cruise on Ovation of the Seas Pacific Aria was quite a culture shock ...Yup a nice :"Ferry" to New Zealand ......yes an example of one of P&O hard working overnight north sea ferrys comes to mind in the decor and interior design so I would classify Pacific Aria as a cruise farry at least for this four day crossing to New Zealand...
