Carlz Posted March 28, 2008 #28 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sounds great Shiona - Maybe we can have a few Martinis and go on "Wanker Patrol". LOL :p Cheers Sandra I can just see it now in the pacific daily.... All interested in Tosser patrolling are invited to join us poolside 2am Island party night...

Rare arxcards Posted March 28, 2008 #29 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Ok then.Can I ask if you have cruised on the Sun Princess under the "p&o" branding (selected cruises which were launched before the other big announcement that it was here for longer than orignally planned) do we get the P&O discount off our next cruise? Really good question. Even though Princess Oz ended up changing the cruises back to pretty much a Princess spec (24hr buffet, N\C for pizza, room service & snacks, Captains circle perks etc), it was a P&O operated cruise at the time of booking. I guess it is worth asking that question to a customer service rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any who can get them to clear the starboard railing gets bonus points. Will be announced in the Princess Patter (Sun Princess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_Boy Posted March 28, 2008 #31 Share Posted March 28, 2008 big misunderstanding everyone - please accept my apologies - sometimes frustration gets the better of us. to clarify, whilst Sun Princess is sailing within Australian waters, she is still classified as a Princess Ship, not P&O (from my understanding when i recently contacted P&O to book a future cruise). anyhow, thanks for the complete let down guys, hope we can all move forward and lets just enjoy the forums on here :D thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvvin_u_2 Posted March 28, 2008 #32 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Cruise_Boy... i so know u! ur prob thinking 'hmm stalker' lol, na u were in my training group 4 a few days:) Sun Princess is still a Princess ship.. Being based in aus hasnt really changed the demographics of people on board i think due to the cost and lack of 4 berth cabins.. its fantastic it has opened a whole new market of cruising all year round because some people would never travel p&o aus. having cruises start from syd and freemantle at the moment and when the dawn priness comes the sun will then be based in melbourne, it has made it more accessible for people as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it seemed a good idea at the time of booking- but I must admit the guilt is setting in abit now! We will take them on the next cruise(wherever and whenever that may be!!;) ) But on the other hand I think it will be great to have a holiday without them!:) It has never happened before! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All opinions are valued, and it has been confusing enough getting Sun Princess info over the past year (even customer service would give you a different answer each time). I am aware from last years experience how frustrating it can be to get conflicting info, even from those that are supposed to have the facts. Still, those in the business are being fed press releases for P&O and Princozz from the same media company, signed off by their CEO Ann Sherry. And us cruisers needed to ask our questions somewhere, and this is the most suitable place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the south bound Pacific Sun cruise in March and had a wonderful time. It really was a mini cruise - nearly everything that's done on a 7-10 night cruise seemed to be crammed into the 2 nights and 1 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not aware of any waitlists on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvvin_u_2 Posted March 31, 2008 #50 Share Posted March 31, 2008 i am aware of that, although the conversation did trail onto the pacific sun 2 night cruise and this cruise is waitlisted. the two night syd-mel on the sun princess is filling up quickly though.
