We would like to make next holiday a cruise, but we promised DD that we would take her and a friend back to Cairns as she loved it ...tried talking her into doing a cruise instead but no go:( ..not sure we are really related..land based over cruising:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrules Posted April 27, 2008 #32 Share Posted April 27, 2008 If you become disoriented, there is a tip that worked for my missus - look at the cabin doors. If the numbers are going down, you are heading to the pointy end. Wow, I wish I'd thought of that on Pacific Sun the first time we went on her. We were in an inside cabin, and I found that without a window to orientate me as I left the cabin, I was forever going in the wrong direction.

Charlie Girl Posted April 27, 2008 #33 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Ok here goes. Just to start with.. the ship that we were on seems to be a different one from the one that I have been reading about:confused: We were so excited about going on our first cruise that we were at the wharf at 9.30am.. arrived in a very expensive taxi ($56) our own fault for travelling in peak hour traffic..) We had our bags taken off us as soon as we stepped out of the taxi.. then to get our cards..took 5 mins..a couple of hours to just look at the ship and have a couple of cups of coffee.. then...we are on. It was about 12;10 and we were on the bags were in the cabin and we are sitting down having lunch.. talk about quick.. Our cabin was on Baja deck 10 it was lovely and yes we loved the balcony and we did use it . We would get a balcony cabin again if we could get a good price on it.. this one only cost us an extra $200 so it was worth it. The weather for sailaway was perfect as it was for most of the cruise..the ocean was like a millpond for at least 8 of the days and when it got lumpy it was only a little bit.. The service and the crew on the ship we found to be excellent..not at any time did we come across a grumpy or unhelpful person.. and when you think og the hours that they work I'm sure I would lose my smile after a while. To be cont... Hi She is a beautiful ship isn't she:D ? Did you have Andrew Froude as captain? If you did how did you find him? Did he mingle with passangers ect.....

Seadreams27 Posted April 28, 2008 Author #34 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi Gail. WE had captain Lorenzo Paoletti. The only time we saw him was at the captains cocktail party..where he was quite charming and made sure to do the rounds and talk to everyone..apart from this I can't remember seeing him anywhere..I get the the impression he was there to captain the ship and the passengers were incidental .

happyholiday Posted April 28, 2008 #35 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Funny you should say that,as we did not attend the Captains coctail party we never saw him,every time a bloke in a white suit would walk past i would ask hubby is that him.(NO)was the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
