Experiences on P&O Pacific Star (2006)


Recommended Posts

Since she was built in 1981 as the Tropicale, the location and noise from the whistles was consistent with every ship I worked on from that era.

 

Just be thankful your cabin wasn't behind the Bridge when the fwd whistle sounded. Noise wasn't the only concern as the vibration wasn't much fun.

Sail7seas, not anymore. Since she joined Costa cruises in 2001, the old Tropicale adopted the cylindar type funnel used by Costa and has since kept this funnel shape. If anything has changed, it is just the paint and logo changes.

 

I also noticed that the stern had an addition added to acheive a square look, a design choice I suppose by P&O when they bought her in 2005.

 

I have video footage, as per a P&O cruise video from 2006, of the ships 2005 refit in Palermo, Italy.
