Pacific Jewel Norfolk Cruise September
Well this was the cruise that missed Norfolk Island due to the severe weather in the Tasman Sea. I have endeavoured to be objective in the review and hope that it may be of interest and even assistance to those considering cruising on Pacific Jewel.
Boarding at Wharf 5 Due to the intended redevelopment of the area the perfectly good terminal has been demolished and a temporary terminal installed further along the wharf. The terminal is quite adequate for the task and as usual P&O carry out the boarding of passengers in an efficient way. It is surprising how quickly almost 2000 passengers can be processed and boarded.
Cabin Review
Cabin was on Deck 8 amidships and classified as an 'obscured cabin' due to the tenders being located on that deck. This caused no problems as far as light and even a sea view was concerned. There was some early morning noise on the days that the tenders were lowered, but by then we were up to see the arrival at the port of call. The bed was Kingsize and there was plenty of storage space. The bathroom is quite adequate and serves it's purpose. All in all a good cabin.
