    We are cruise newbies. The Explorer will be our first. And I must say I've been a bit worried this week. I'm not good in crowds and I get travel sick. I love your video. Brilliant idea for folk like me. Can you stay in the food centres a bit longer so we can see the whole set up please? Your video is also of our floor. It's exciting and challenging. We are going to Tasmania and back to see if we like cruising. Thank you very much. From Mike and Von Moore Mannum South Australia.

      Thank you so much for viewing and commenting. There are plenty of areas where there isn't crowds. I hope you find cruising as great and fun as we do. When we did our first cruise, we were not sure how we'd cope either but it was amazing and the rest is history! We have been to your town, we started and finished an unforgettable Murray River Cruise there! Lovely place. Good luck and let us know how you get on!

      @rayandjotravels6069 It is a confusing layout takes a bit to get used to it. Staff are all absolutely lovely. For us we found everything we went to do was always a line up especially shows. We are heading back on in April going to PNG.

    Enjoyed watching this! Thanks for sharing. I am trying to get my wife interested in going on a cruise on the Pacific Explorer but she is still a bit worried about it all. When you are at sea, is the ship roll very noticable when you are walking around? Thanks!

    • @rayandjotravels
      @rayandjotravels  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for watching. Generally, the roughest part is when you leave Auckland! But it's not bad at all. Because the Explorer is not a large ship she has more movement than say, a Princess ship. But honestly movement at sea is minimal. Hope your wife gets interested. Good luck.

    Hi, we have cruised with Princess Cruises - Majestic Princess and we are looking at doing this exact cruise with P&O Pacific Explorer - Pacific Islands. How would you compare Pacific Explorer with Majestic Princess in terms of ship quality, entertainment, room, and food? We loved Majestic Princess and we are hoping we get the same level of quality on the pacific explorer. Thank you

    • @rayandjotravels
      @rayandjotravels  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Unfortunately Pacific Explorer is not up to Majestic Princess standards in all areas so you may be disappointed. Having said that Pacific Explorer is simply showing signs of her age. We have been on her several times, and we see the deterioration. But one thing that doesn't change is itinerary of Fiji, Tonga and Norfolk Island which is great. Hope this helps and Happy future cruising!

      @@rayandjotravels Hi Ray and Jo, thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your inputs on the pacific explorer compared to the majestic princess. I am now considering to book the Royal Caribbean quantum of the seas instead of the pacific explorer, however the price difference at this stage is $2000-2500 more for the royal caribbean. We plan to go on a cruise March/April 2025. Lot's of thinking to do...............

      @@fisherboy444 Hi. 2K is a big difference. We have never cruised with Royal Caribbean but have watched many videos of her. Honestly, we would hop back on Pacific Explorer tomorrow as it's still a wonderful ship and I hope we haven't sold her short. The crew are brilliant, the food is of high standard and the itinery is always neat. Decisions, decisions. Let us know how you get on!

    Great stuff guys. I'm taking my kids on this shorty. Did you bother with a drinks package? Are water, basic tea and coffee included in the standard fare? Thanks!

    • @rayandjotravels
      @rayandjotravels  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thank you. No, we don't enough for a drinks package, but a coffee/tea/soft drink package seems popular. There is tea, coffee available in the pantry 24/7. We would recommend you take your own cup/mug. There are also the odd water type station where you can fill a water bottle. Enjoy your cruise!!

      No, we didn't get the package but I think it is quite reasonable. From talking to those who did get it, they seemed happy. I think if we do that cruise again, we would get it.
