On a recent Galley Tour on the Pacific Aria, we were interested to find a little room, which almost looked like a prison cell.It was locked so that no one could access it during the day. I can only imagine how busy it would be at peak service time!
Relax in the spa!I don’t know about you, but I just love relaxing in the spa. It’s not very often you get the whole one to yourself, so if you do, enjoy! This was on a recent cruise and on a port day. Almost everybody was off the ship (as you can see it was […]

Happy Mother’s Day! This is my mother in law who was sailing on P&O’s Pacific Dawn during Mother’s Day. But it is not just a special occasion for Mother’s Day. You will find that there are a lot of other occasions, including Easter, Christmas, Australia Day etc. We love how the ship decorates for all […]
