A ship does not weigh so many tonnes it is actually a-size measurement

Awesome info. Going on this ship next year.

i'm going on the Encounter in a few weeks. Thanks for this vid, it gave me a decent look at some of the seating options in areas. I am oversized and use a mobility walker. on my 1 previous cruise on the Dawn i found there was somewhat limited seating for someone my size and limited flexibility. i did see that the marquee may not be an option for me. the seats in the Dawns theatre were too narrow as well. hoping the are more benches etc on the promenade type areas so i can do some water watching.

Thank you for this explanation!

I’m late to the video here, came up in my feed. As of the end of March 2025, Pacific Encounter becomes the Carnival Encounter, so I guess the Carnival vibe will flow on. Only decision you have to make, is do you like the colour PINK ? If so, go on Splendor out of Sydney as does the Pacific/Carnival Adventure. It’s sister ship Pacific/Carnival Encounter sails from Brisbane, as does the Carnival Luminosa, in the summer season.

WHO GIVES A SHIT

Ugh! Rather disappointed. First time traveller next month. i was looking forward to the deli menu before the change as well as some bbq ( for a free option ). Now its fewer sandwiches i would eat at the deli and 1 less included option also. ( unless that is somewhere next to its old location )

They'd have to do a lot more to get rid of hideous decor in the main areas especially the atrium and dining room.

Disappointed no blue iguana😢😢😢😢

Looks good looking forward to hopping on board on the 9th September 2024

A good video, but why do you have music playing ,I like to hear the sounds of people moving around.😢

Agreed. Compared to Princess the entertainment at night onboard was abysmal. There are no large shows which is disappointing. There were not even many decent film in the theatre. There could have been.

On the P&O Explorer in September cant wait - feel quite sad it will be the last of our amazing cruise holidays from NZ Wont be bothered flying to Oz to pic up a cruise....The sevice is fantastic - Sadly missed we dont like the big ships.

Im so paranoid that I always get back on ship one hour before sail-away

Great video ❤

thats awesome massive congrats :)

After having just spent a short break on the P&O Adventure it is in serious need of help, the food in the pantry is less than acceptable bordering on pretty bad, and the ship itself needs a lot of attention 🤷‍♀️

Congratulations mate!

Well done

This is awesome info!! I hope I never need to use the knowledge, but am extremely glad I now gave it. ❤

People on board will laugh at you!! That's what happens. LOL

Thanks for the Info ! All Good to Know

P&O all the way!

A major issue with ship internet is bandwidth. 4000 devices all connected and checking facebook and other app actions. Its like plumbing. If everyone turns their tap on there is low water flow.

I loved it but was ripped off with a few purchases. They said was a certain price but charged extra and claimed as US dollar.

Last December I did a South Pacific tour on this ship and it was quite nice. My only complaints about the food were relatively trivial: No matter which restaurant you choose, DON'T BOTHER ordering ANYTHING with LOBSTER on the menu. The portion of actual lobster in these dishes are so small, you'll need a magnifying glass to identify it. And yes, you pay a premium for the privilege. And in the Pastry Shop (near the Horizon Court), none of the pastries have the soft, flaky and slightly crispy layered crust you'd expect with a quality product. They are tasty, but have poor texture. But plenty of choices and we had some really nice meals. And the cherries on Christmas Day was a really pleasant and tasty surprise. Doing another cruise on the same ship, Royal Princess, around New Zealand this December.

The food on the Splendor is actually quite nice, but i strongly encourage anyone sailing on her to find the places that you like, The Deli in the serenity area makes wonderful toasted sandwiches, and guys burgers is a great taste spot, just a shame they close so early, the pizza place ... well, lets be honest, they are not the greatest Pizza's on the ocean, however, as one of the last food places to close, they do hit the spot if you have been up late drinking or partying with others on the ship, pro tip for the Pizza Place, always, use those toppings they have down the far right of the ordering area, really does make a difference, and trust me, the actual paid pizzas, the chicken tika and the korean stake, yes $9 but they are well worth it ! - liked & subscribed, recently threw a nice little short splendor video on my channel, check it out !

Santo

I can't wait to do our December 2025 cruise on carnival luminosa to Airlie Beach, Cairns and Port Douglas ❤

I'd love to see mystery Island and noumea ❤❤

That was a nice tour

Thanks for this vide.... but WHY did you not go out on the Balcony for a bit.....

I'm going in jan so excited!!

What a great vid!

TY

I sailed on her as Dawn Princess. Was booked to sail 17th March 2025 until P&O decided passenger loyalty wasnt worth the paper it was written on.

The Carnival Adventure render belongs to me by the way 🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️

Thanks... very timely as we will be aboard Royal in September this year.

the curry stall in the pantry was the best food on the P&O encounter. The toast was always stone cold and the breakfast was the same for 7 days.

If you go on a cruise thats just another reason to be depressed get a nice log cabin with hot coco instead and be happy

Looking forward to seeing the ship on our cruise

that was great to watch your the first person to actually not just film your friends or family and actually showing us around the ship , its so confusing compared to the old carnival ships in Australia

we missed every show they were half hour late every night , i hated how boring it was , cruising before covid on carnival was so good , the ships were much better than what we have now

Newcastle

Newcastle NSW.

Pick me, I know the answer, Christchurch

Brisbane.

Nice vid
