What a fantastic week on the Pacific Dawn cruising to the South Pacific Island Ports of Noumea, Lifou and Port Vila! I had an incredibly fun and relaxing time with my mother and sister and cannot rave highly enough about the ship, crew, ports and the P&O experience. This is a great ship that suits all ages, families, groups of friends and solo cruisers.

If I had listened to all the negative reviews about the Pacific Dawn when I was booking my cruise I would have made a terrible mistake and not chosen to go on one of the best holidays I have ever had! Honestly I think some people just live to complain and don't know how to have fun. I do not usually write reviews about anything but I honestly feel like I have to correct some of the negative aspersions cast about this Ship and P&O in general on this website. I will take the time to go through the end to end customer journey so that Cruise Critic readers can see if P&O and Pacific Dawn is the right fit for them or if they should choose something else. This review will be long so strap yourselves in if you want a really holistic picture of what this type of holiday can give you!
