For this review I shall cover the dining, the cabin, the staff and the activities/entertainment

on the P&O cruise ship Pacific Jewel.

Starting with the dining, you have three choices.

Cabin Review

Cabin Ocean View

The Cabin

We had an ocean view cabin, which was adequate and as expected. A photo shows the bed, and you can draw your own conclusions re: comfort.

There is no tea service in the cabin and if you want a coffee/tea you can get it free in the Pantry. The coffee is disgusting. Probably some cheap instant coffee. Of course, you can always buy a barista coffee for $3.50-$4.50AUD. You have to go fetch it though, or pay for room service. Contradictorily, the coffee at dinner time in the Waterfront restaurant was very nice.
