P&O Cruise on Pacific Sun to Fiji, New caledonia & Vanuatu

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

My wife and I plus two of our children (22 yo son& 15yo daughter) are thinking of taking a 14 night cruise on the P&O cruise ship Pacific Sun on 15 July 2010 in a 4 berth cabin.

We have heard a number of reports over the years regarding breakdowns at sea and other problems with food poisoning etc on this ship.

Could any recent travellers on the Pacific Sun tell us whether they experienced any problems on their cruise?

We had an alternative cruise in mind on board the Pacific Jewel costing about the same but only 10 days in length. If anyone has travelled on both ships it would be nice to have a comparison between the two boats.

Thanks in advance

Kevin
