This is what you would get if you mated a Princess ship with a P&O ship. It's not so much a "transformation" as a "retouch". We sailed on what would have been one of the final Golden Princess cruises (I know that's Pacific Adventure, not Pacific Encounter but they're almost carbon copies) so I'm quite familiar with the ship (we've also cruised on Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess and there's not much difference between all of them). I guess this is indicative of the hard times cruise lines have had the last few years... budgets must be pretty tight. I must say that Golden Princess was looking a bit worse for wear when we cruised on her (in 2018) so any work on these aging ships would be an improvement.
cant wait to board this fine ship on 7th june to PNG we did book in early jan but we found a good deal 2 pay + 2 free and we paid half of the fares for 3 of us!! the only problem is the waiting of the cabin number, i bet the waiting part is to see if we can get free upgrade cabin good tour mate! btw what time do we have to be there at the brisbane terminal if i want to have a look around at the new terminal?
Thank you. You will be given a boarding time. So if you want to have a look around use that as a guide. We are again on her May 27th, so I'll make sure she is good for you 😄. Enjoy!
