Thread: Soon to be Pacific Jewel in Drydock

Here is a current picture of the Ocean Village Two (ex easyCruise) being transformed into P & O Australia's newest ship, the Pacific Jewel .

That is a nice picture you found there.

I forgot that she was leaving the fleet now!
Though she was never easycruise, she started as Crown Princess and worked her way through the AIDA fleet to Ocean Village.

Great pic! I wonder how it stays up?

I found this great time lapse video of OV2 in the shipyard on the P&O Australia Pacific Jewel blog.

Hi Leah
I am very interested to hear your cruise review. My hubby and I are going on her on 26th April for 11 nights, this will be our 10th cruise and our4th to the South Pacific. We were waitlisted for a balcony and fortunately we have been assigned one, we are on the 10th level midship.
I have only read one review and it was not favourable the main problem being overcrowding especially in the restaurants. I am keen to eat in the Salt Grill,did you try this restaurant?Hopefully the problems have been sorted out by our cruise...I am just as excited as if it were my 1st cruise. Would love to here what your experience was.
Cheers Louise
