Pacific Dawn dry dock

[thied]

Two weeks to go till the Pacific Dawn dry dock and we are on the first cruise when she comes out of dry dock:D

[tuckysxr]

No we are not - she is going to do a three day mini cruise - so who is going to be sleeping in my new bed

[thied]

have to wait and see on that one:D

 

even if there is a three day cruise after her dry dock, i do dont think any one on a 3 nighter will stay in a suit.:D so your suit and our should be safe :D:D

[karmac]

Most of those 3 dayers sell out, which means someone WILL be in your suite.

Are you in a suite or mini suite? Have you been in both in the past? Just wondering what the differnece is.

Is it known what changes they are going to do while she is in Dry Dock? other than mechanical stuff.

I do think that all the upgrades the P&O are going to do in the dry dock of the Pacific Dawn will be great for every one.

[thied]

Because I can comment on any thread I want :D.

 

I for one are looking forward to what they do to the Pacific Dawn in dry dock this month are you?

And Thied, you still didn't answer my question. Have you been in a mini suite AND a suite? Is it worth paying the extra money for a suite???

[Bella cruiser]

Hey Thied, you seem to know all about the work being done, any word as to where they are relocating the Tiger to?

 

Apparently it is being moved out of the Bengal Bar when it is renovated & renamed and placed in a mystery location on the ship.

Hi Suncoaster here it is from the horse's mouth (so to speak)..........

I see they are going to get some of Tony Rea's artwork. Now we just want some classical music and a chamber emsemble or two and we'll be a bit more upmarket! ;) ;)

from the sail away book sent to me and I do not think you find this on line

[thied]

I see Thied has a Pacific Pearl cruise in his signature, I wonder how he will manage on the Pearl as she doesn't have any suites, only mini-suites.

as said many times we have do stay in both:rolleyes:

 

With all these questions about mine suites and suites, one would think that if all these members are so very interested in them, they may like to try staying in a suite or mini suite they may like it, like many other cruises do.

Maybe not all members of the family went on those holidays.

Thied said recently that both his kids have always gone on their cruises.

[Brossy]

When they do refurb the Dawn it will be nice to see that all the cabins will have brand spanking new carpets. I guess they won't need to be steam cleaned for a while ;).

 

I wonder when they'll put the Jewel in for dry dock if it's having so many problems :confused:. P&O really need to refurb the Marquee on both the Jewel and especially the Pearl (+ my last cabin on the Pearl which was severely flooded and really needs the carpet replaced and not just aired and steam cleaned :p).

now thats is very interestin that you bring that point up as I did say waiting for it. as in meaning im waiting for you to say this very thing quote ( how a family of 4 stays in a room for 3:confused)

 

! as many mini suite have a king double and a double soffer bed and when we have traveled with friends staying a mini suite as well, we just book one child in there cabin and one with us till we get on board the ship, in which case once on board we charge our secound child back to our cabin.

 

as seen here in photo

 

 

please check it as it can be done. even down to changing the cruise card.
