Megagirl Posted March 14, 2009 #76 Share Posted March 14, 2009 My wife and I will be sailing on our 1st ever cruise on Pac Sun next month and looking forward to it. Just a couple of questions. Alcohol pricing - is it expensive, can you pay in cash so you don't get a surprise at the end? Ross Hi Ross, No, you can't pay cash as you go. All purchases onboard with the exception of the casino are placed on your cruisecard. But you can check your balance anytime at the Pursers desk to keep an eye on the total. We'll be fairly limited with spending our next cruise (23 sleeps) so I think we'll just put cash on the cards to start with and if it runs out, then we'll be happy to drink water for the rest of the time. But haven't told hubby that yet.:eek::eek: Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargnGrah Posted March 14, 2009 #77 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Going on the PD, can you take an electric toothbrush? I don't think there is a powerpoint in the bathroom, only one at the Dressing table....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavil09 Posted March 14, 2009 #78 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks Jen So if we want to do the snorkeling thing then do we need to book tours or do we just make our own way to the beach and go from there? What about the adult deck, is there a cost involved with using this facility? Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megagirl Posted March 14, 2009 #82 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi Ross I don't snorkel myself but the places you are going to are perfect for it from what I've read. The tenders take you ashore and you just wander into the water and snorkel to your heart's content. I believe there is a charge for the adults only deck ($10/half day??) and that includes water and ice cream?? all day. Some snorkellers are sure to give you some inside tips on the best spots.

cavil09 Posted March 14, 2009 #83 Share Posted March 14, 2009 What is meant by "Tender" is this the transport from the ship to port? And what is the process to get on board? Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_cruiser Posted March 14, 2009 #84 Share Posted March 14, 2009 What is meant by "Tender" is this the transport from the ship to port? Yep And what is the process to get on board? What normally happens is in the morning you go to one off the lounges (It should say in the daily the previous night which lounge to go to), & Then you get a ticket with a number & then they call out a number & when your number is called you head down to your Tender. Hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagull48 Posted May 13, 2009 #89 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi I am new to cruising and am so excited about going on my first cruise in August. I was just wondering with the four course dining, are you able to have three courses then watch the show and then come back for the dessert??? Thanks Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megagirl Posted May 14, 2009 #90 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Deb I don't think you can go to the dining room for just dessert, but of course you can visit the buffet and have as many desserts as your little heart desires.:D:D Who knows, maybe you can go just for dessert, i've just never tried.

baker65 Posted August 23, 2009 #96 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks so much for taking the time to put together some great ideas and information. We are cruising for the first time in October(never been out of Queensland let alone overseas) so it is good to have some insight into what we might expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotty Posted September 6, 2009 #98 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This will be my first cruise and i am travelling with 3 friends, we are going on the Pacific Dawn in June of 2010. Is there anything we should know or take with us since it will be the start of winter? Lotty:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffahunter Posted September 6, 2009 #99 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Our family are first time cruisers and will be on the Isle of Pines on Christmas day. We would like to take gifts for some of the children on the Island. We were wondering if that would be appropriate and if things like balls and textas would be a good idea or would something else be better?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatie Posted September 7, 2009 #100 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi Jaffa I've only been to Isle of Pines once and the children there do not seem to be as bad off as on other islands and thus may appreciate something different?? They do get a lot of cruise ships stopping there but of late it has ceased because of swine flu fears. It may well be all clear come December though? Maybe if you post this question as a "topic" in the main P&O forum area it might bring some suggestions? Welcome to the addictive world of cruising!! Hope you have a fantastic time.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
