Great video and after recently coming off a cruise I would whole heartedly agree. Panty after the first couple days was very boring and I really couldn't eat it again, lucky we had other dining lined up which was great... and yes the staff do make that cruise what it is, otherwise it would be in alot of trouble to be honest. 2.5 out of 5 is fair. likes: Staff Edge activites for kids (if you manage to book and the weather doesn't cancel them) Slides Pools comfy beds and pillows dislikes: room (not a comparible balcony to RCC) inclusions (felt like I had to pay a lot more to do things onboard P&O compared to other cruise lines where more is included) smell and constant blockages on deck 12 food (not enough rotating options in the buffet)
I found all the included food options great. Have been on over 15 cruises with p&o, carnival, Cunard and Princess and for what you pay it is far cheaper than any other hoilday. I do agree paying for pizza is my only complaint. I tend to go with Princess as it is all included. I really love the Encounter, espcially the hotel bar. Great vibe. I didn't fond the lack of entertainment. In fact there was too much to do - I did love the pianist on our last one Spence Chester and this made our cruise. I encourage everyone to try a cruise once. You never know till you go if you like it or not.
We are away on the Pacific Encounter in June , it’s our 2nd P&O cruise , we were on the Adventure last time and looking at your video the 2 ships look the same . We liked the ship but the food was the biggest disappointment for us , I am not into ethnic foods at all , and most days I was left eating just chips , and my husbands biggest disappointment was they don’t have Corona 😢 he was gutted lol Our very first cruise was on The Quantum of the Seas Royal Caribbean . This ship was aammmazing ! It was like a mini town and the food was just outstanding !
Some great cruise and travel content here on your channel, which we will definitely be exploring more of. In the meantime, we've clicked Subscribe, and look forward to more 'Cruisey Sea Days' 🚢👍
we cruised on pacific adventure last november, the ship was beautiful, but we had the same issue with the sewage smell in the same area and also in our cabin, very strange that both ships have this issue.
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.
it was november last year, the pacific adventure had only done i think 1 or 2 cruises before ours. cruising started here 31 march last year and we went on that cruise, it was our very first cruise, so was very excited to be doing our first one on such a monumental cruise :)@@cruiseyseadays
@@cruiseyseadaysthat’s what I thought more so we did brisbane to Airlie beach. I bought a cologne for $49.95 when went to pay the lady said it’s 59.95, I questioned it and she said it’s US dollars?. I was like what?. It also happened with cheese board player purchase as well.
@@cruiseyseadays I have photos up on fb P&O site. It has rust holes in the roof from years ago and filthy walls. My room was disgusting. Also maybe one side could be renovated and the other not I don’t know but the whole side I was on was like a rubbish tip. Last time I was on the shit I was on a renovated level but this time it was so bad I will never get on a P&O ship again and the food was disgusting.

Wow! thankyou for your review, I am on this cruise for 2024 June, traveling from NZ

Thanks you

I've been seeing some groups on facebook posts saying the same thing.
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.
the adventure doesnt have a pool at the sunset bar, just a hot tub, which wasnt opened on our sailing. neither were the speciality dining restaurants.
That's annoying. Was that when cruising was just restarting?

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.
Doesn't sound right. The pacific encounter should be Australian dollars
@@cruiseyseadaysthat’s what I thought more so we did brisbane to Airlie beach.
I bought a cologne for $49.95 when went to pay the lady said it’s 59.95, I questioned it and she said it’s US dollars?. I was like what?.

Go to deck 12 it’s falling apart. I just got off the ship and had a lot of bad things happen.
Deck 12 was OK for us during June, must be recently that's happened.
don't say that too loud, you'll get castrated by the delusional people!

I like Princess better, the food great!😊
Haven't done princess yet. My parents are about to soon :)
Isn't the average age on Princess Cruises about 70?
Yes we found the food much better on Princess.
Just come off the encounter and will not be booking another cruise on it.
Why? Please tell all!
The entire ship is just designed to screw money out of you. Won’t be using P&O again.
Carnival is way way worse!
They are all the same, Royal Carribean included. They are there to make money. However, you do not have to conform.
