Title: 2019 Aus Day Cruise ~ P&O Pacific Eden
Post by: i30premy on January 29, 2019, 05:22:32: Was wondering what to do for recent Aus Day weekend & found out P&O had a 3N cruise on the Pacific Eden.
Sailed out PM Thurs & sailed up to Port Maq for the Fri & back into Sydney Harbour & Joined Pacific Explorer anchored for the day. Back out to sea for the evening before docking AM Sun. Ship was 100% full for cruise so I found out & ended up on a standby list, but managed a last minute booking. Only an interior cabing & DW not impressed!! We were anchored between Shark & Clarke Islands.

Had the normal Oz Day activities included - Thong throwing, egg toss, pie eating etc.

Lots of Oz Day activities on the day & many dressed up for the occasion.

Post by: beerman on January 29, 2019, 10:51:25: Loved the Aria (sister ship to the Eden) when we were on her last year.....Can't wait to do a 10 night PNG cruise on her again later in the year.

Before that, a 7 night trip on the Dawn :happydance:

Shame this year was Pacific Eden's last Australia day cruise....
