Pacific Jewel - Exceeded Expectations

We thoroughly enjoyed our 14 day cruise to Fiji. This is the first time we have cruised with P&O and when we booked we had many reservations about this company after all the bad publicity a few years ago plus some of the reviews were not good either. Well, I can truly say that this was a fantastic cruise. Fun, relaxed, comfortable, interesting ports, and the weather was mostly kind to us - which definitely helps.

The embarkation and dis-embarking process was the best we have ever experienced (this was our sixth cruise) - very smooth and took no time at all. The tendering at the different ports was also easy and a pleasant experience - I now wonder why it all seemed so difficult on our other cruises. On one Mediterranean cruise we waited in a long queue for 2½ hours to embark and the tendering was a nightmare!!

Cabin Review

This was a great cabin. As it was last cabin aft on deck 10 - not busy in the hallway outside our cabin which is a definite plus. Right next to the Oasis Deck and Bar - such easy access and our favourite spot. Also easy access up the back stairs to the Plantation or pool etc.

Lots of storage but I'm glad I packed some extra coathangers - these were needed.

Very quiet room and although it was an inside cabin I loved the curtains on the wall which suggested there was a window behind them. Nice touch. A number of times I would walk into the cabin, head straight for the curtains to pull them back before I remembered - no window.
