Good morning to you both. Have just come upon your 4 part videos. Have subscribed. Enjoyable to watch. Rose was cute and happy. We were on the Bounty cruise , Pacific Encounter, 13/7/24 to 27/7/24. Interesting to compare your experiences with our cruise. I’m assuming it was the same date as yours. Norfolk Island was disappointing not to be able to land. But we knew the odds that this may happen. We celebrated our 44th Wedding Anniversary on the 19/7/24 whilst on board. We have cruised trouble free on over 14 cruises , on different lines, but this cruise to us was the absolute worst ever. The Pacific Encounter overall maintenance was appalling, I could list all , but far to many. You are probably aware of them. Inside our cabin had many issues, my Husband is a carpenter, he had to repair many broken things the best he could. The food was disappointing , menus only changing on the 4 th day in rotation. The Entertainment, we have seen years ago. We had P& O excursions booked in every port. They were disorganised and horrible . We were abandoned on one , the bus never returned to pick us up in Nuku’Alofa, Oholei Beach and Hina Cave. The owners called in the Army to help collect all the passengers, but not enough seats on the bus, 27 of us were left abandoned on site. Terrifying.We had to phone P&O to help us .We were last to return minutes before departure. Like yourselves we were very diligent in our health practices at all times. We got sick the 2 nd week, had to see the ship’s Doctor, we stayed in our cabin to protect our friends and other passengers. Doing the responsible thing. Arrived home on the Saturday, by early hours Monday morning we were at the emergency dept of the Hospital. Have since heard the ship was full of Whooping cough, Covid, and Influenza A , reported cases. We were very ill afterwards for 4 weeks. I saw that Rose was not well at the end, hope you faired better than us. Disembarking was a nightmare on the Saturday took us hours to get off. Missed our transportation . I know I sound grumpy. Pacific Encounter never again. Princess and Royal Carribean 👍 We are grey Nomads in our caravan also. Love it. ❤❤ I will watch your other Videos, Cressbrook Dam being the next one. Have you tried Lake Moogerah? Nice spot good amenities . I feel better I have vented.
Yes we were a bit disappointed with a few things on the cruise, the food being one, but being P&O we didn't have high expectations knowing that it is basically the bogan boat. but it went to where we wanted to go. We had great experiences with the tours we went on and had no issues. we heard the woman in the next cabin coughing like a walrus and did our best to stay away from crowds. we both ended up with the flu afterwards and can assume Rose picked it up onboard and then gave it to me a few days later. we had had all our vaccinations up to date so we were not too bad compared to most. Thanks for watching our vids. We are part way into our trip to Central North Queensland in our caravan and have a few more episodes of that in the pipeline. You will have to wait to see whatever else Rose gets me into. Cheers Col and Rose
