I have friends leaving tomorrow from Perth on Pacific Explorer for 3 nights. They have just been informed that the ship will be anchored from Sat morning to Sunday afternoon to have the hull cleaned before it goes to NZ! Also the casino will not be open for the cruise because they are not in international waters. So for most of the cruise they will not move. This last minute information is very poor. Interested to know what others think. Doubt they will go again.
