1st time for us on the Pacific Jewel, we have been on the Dawn and Pearl before and also have sailed with Princess, HAL, Carnival and RCL.
The ship was just recently out of the refit in Singapore where it had amongst others the Pantry installed. We were travelling in a group of 22 people with a mixture of children12 of all ages 5 to 16 and 10 adults of various ages between 35-66. Some have had some previous cruise experience with my wife and our children being the most cruised family amongst our group.
Embarkation went very smooth most of us had 9:30 check in and where on board the ship at 11 onwards.
we also had 5123. Both were fine inside cabins, would use again.
We love going shopping here at Port Plaisance where the French shop too. There is some great French cuisine and wine.
Port Vila is great location for a multitude of excursions.
