Hi all,

 

We returned to Sydney this morning from the Pacific Eden's Christmas cruise.

 

Reading this thread I am reluctant to post my daily blog reports from the trip as I fear I will be just 'flamed down" for expressing my thoughts.

 

Can I just say that we did take a big tube of disinfectant wipes and used the entire lot throughout the cruise wiping draw handles, tv remote, and basically everything that was in the cabin. Made it a habit to wash our hand upon entering and leaving the cabin.

 

Fortunately, we did not get sick, but a numberof people mention they had been ill.

 

Staffing onboard does seem to be a problem and it definitely needs more attention to ensure a crew member is stationed at the entry to all food outlets to ensure everyone sanitizes their hand. This is not currently happening.

 

I need to think about whether I post by blog notes. Not sure I want to be shot down for expressing an honest personal review of the trip. The good, the bad and the ugly. What are your thoughts?

As someone who's going on Eden in a few week's time I'd like to read it - there's already a mix of both positive and negative reviews so I don't think adding another one will be an issue.

Channel Nine story was a series of grabs with unhappy customers - and the usual comment about people demanding refunds

No representative from P&O appeared on camera - just the standard spiel about their high standards of hygiene etc etc

The part about using VB cans to prop up stuff was interesting though :confused:

EDIT: Nvm - its now streaming live on 9news.com.au

Just saw an ad for 9 news reporting it as a lead story on tonight's news.

Does anyone know where I might be able to watch the 9 news stream online?
