Cool, this will try and ensure that Australia maintains a growing market in cruises.:D

My family and I will be onboard . Our daughters are pretty excited about it.

 

Good publicity for P&O Australia for sure and cruising in OZ in general

[aussielozzie18]

Thanks for letting us know. My work colleague is onboard for the Australia Day weekend cruise. I look forward to watching this.

6AM?? AEST or EST??? --or local time in each Capital city??

I don't normally watch the show but would imagine it is 6am AEDST, with mainly Sydney/Melbourne viewers. However, it is probably delayed for QLD.:D

Oops - 6am local time. :)

 

So it will be live in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania (6am AEDT), then delayed in all other states depending on how far behind they are with NSW/Vic/Tas e.g. 1 hour for QLD.

And P&O gets some free marketing... they like the tv promotions.

Possibly free but they may be paying for it.:D

Radiance of the Seas will be docking at OPT on Monday and then we will be on board. Give you a blast on the horn as we leave so you know what a real ship looks like:D

I have the show booked in to record, so I will keep an eye out for you.:D

Well if the Queens can do it, so can we.:)

About 7.30am today Monday, , they were off Kiama on NSW South Coast. It was mentioned on the show that this little cruise was supposed to go to Newcastle but then changed the course when Sunrise show decided to 'broadcast live.' Good promotion for P&O Australia anyway.

I taped it and then could fast forward through all the ads and the actual news/weather, and there was not much of the ship at all. It didn't really showcase the ship as well as I would have thought.:D

[cassamanda]

Fancy playing Love Boat theme music on a P&O ship duh. Better not tell them it was a Princess ship:eek:

[aussielozzie18]

If you taped it like I did, just fast forward until 8.25am and then Kochie does a brief walk-thru of the ship. Otherwise, all you see is the top deck. Can't say it sold me on going on the Jewel.

Yes, I saw the Love Boat Skit on Sunrise and indeed Cassamanda, Pacific Jewel was Crown Princess originally.

 

I suppose Kochie and his entourage will get taken off by launch or helicopter today, I doubt they will stay on board tonight - Monday. I believe they were on board Sunday night, inside cabin or suite? LOL.

I agree, not much to get me going.:D

Surely in with the crew below deck 3:D

Yes Mic, I can see Kochie, Natalie, Sam and Berretts in two berth cabins on Deck 2, sharing a bathroom with the cabin next door, as they do. Not forgetting $2 beers in the crew mess.

I started to watch it - and it was passing interesting -- where did all the blue T-shirts amongst all the passengers come from??

 

But then they started to cross to the News of the Day every 5 minutes -- and I started to cry -- so I couldn't stand it any more and moved on !! :(

Barry, I would say the pax brought them on board or purchased them on board for an exorbitant price, I could not see Carnival Corp donating them ! Yes, I agree, pretty boring show, just a glorified news programme, heavily sponsored by Carnival Corp as a promo.

 

Give me News 24 on ABC any time.

They did mention they had a big sale yesterday on tshirts etc, like a reject shop.

 

What I did see didn't convince me to book with P&O. They showed a bit of the kitchen and breakfast. Looked very ordinary. A big sausage, bit of tomato, soft cooked egg and sauce in the middle.

I'd agree - check out the reviews of P&O.

Same here. About 10 minutes is all I could handle and then it was on to another channel.

I wasn't very impressed with what I saw.
