bon voyage bayview5 and all on Sun Princess

staceymrow · July 19, 2008

Yes they do Les, we have one of Pacific Sky, one of Pacific Sun and one of Pacific Star. We're hoping we'll get one of Pacific Dawn in September as well.

Skyrules

These models are great.

They definately didnt have any on board the Pacific Star last October or the Pacific Sun May of this year.

I have searched alot of hobby shops and ebay to find a decent model of these ships so DH can build me one./ or one already built.No luck as yet.

Now I know they are out there, maybe Il find one on ebay one day!

Stacey, the Pacific Sun one's must have sold out quickly as we brought ours on the 2night cruise we did in March, and they still had a lot then. The one in the picture is the second Pacific Sun we brought, it replaced one we'd brought on our first Pacific Sun cruise which wasn't very good - it made the shoip look like it was curved from bow to stern, the windows weren't in a straight line, etc.

Our theory on why they weren't available - they are waiting for the repainting of Pacific Sun all white to do a new order, so that it looks accurate.

how much are they roughly?
my hubby would like one of those

The smaller ones (Pacific Star & Pacific Sun) were about $30.00

By the way Stacey - these ones aren't built models, they're cast ones, they're quite heavy.

These are not generally distributed through hobby shops or eBay like model cars, trains, planes. I have seen a couple on eBay for some Princess ships, but these are likely past cruisers selling the one they bought.

Apart from the onboard souvenirs, there is the option of building one like Nzmatt is doing, or one of a few sites like these ones (with no P&O Australia ships) -

But where are all the blue and white towels.:D:D

wish I were there right now(suffering from first day back at school)

NSWP · July 22, 2008

After SP has been at sea for 8 days on the 75 dayer, why no live broadcasts? Come on, there are 24 computors awaiting on board. Crikey I just popped a couple of Princess 'pillow chocolates' I brought back from SP last Monday, now in the cruise mood. Can you believe we never ate one pillow choc on board, brought back 38. TRUE.

Cheers..Les:confused:

Kiwi Kruzer · July 22, 2008

American Samoa today............

kaseyoz · July 22, 2008

yes that picture first thing in the morning is sure to make us all want to rush off to work........:p :D :D

well at least the work will pay for a couple more cocktails

Great catch Kc.

Shows a bit more of the amazing scenery

around the harbour.

Looks like that one was after she turned

around and was on the way out ,and back to sea.

Kiwi Kruzer · July 24, 2008

Rarotonga today.

Looks like they smooth sea conditions for tendering ashore.

NSWP · July 25, 2008

Thanks Kiwi Kruiser..a shame we do not have a CC'er on board, reporting live every few days, as TommyH and I did last Sun Princess cruise.

Cheers..Les:cool:

kaseyoz · July 25, 2008

there are a couple of cc ers on board but not regular posters.

My friend is joining this cruise in beijing early september to sail back to sydney, while she has joined CC I doubt she will be writing much on here as she will be too busy taking part in everything.

Shame as we loved your live reports

Kiwi Kruzer · July 25, 2008

Posting from on board can also work out to be very expensive,especially if the internet is very sloooow.

Kiwi Kruzer · July 26, 2008

In the harbour at Papeete today.

Cam is giving us a good view over to the Island of Moorea.

angelwingsflys · July 27, 2008

Moorea today.

Looks a bit misty in them thar hills, you cant see Bali Hai.

Maybe later on today it wil clear.

Nice night capture Kc. It think that is Regents

"Paul Gaugin" the cam is looking at.

Any one know who the 3 master is behind her?

NSWP · July 27, 2008

Yes..I have read the reports coming in on the SP Roll call from this cruise. Same issues I experienced last cruise...food, theatre seats, lack of public room space. Sounds like they are having fun though, still got a couple of months to go!!

Cheers..Les:cool:
