That's an awesome upgrade you guys scored!! But watch out if you get seasick.....the upper levels rock more than the lower ones....make sure you take sea sickness tablets on the morning of embarkation, and take them regularly during the cruise.laracroft said:

- Thread starter Italia
- Start date
about my room numbers i rang p&o and they said they don't always give out room numbers..........she said we are grade s = special which means we are told on embarksion.......she said your room numbers will be written on your luggeg as you embark...............when the cruise draws closer i'm gunna make a fuss........cause when i booked i was told its first in best dressed and if we booked at the time we did will probly get on the two upper levels......i also asked which theme nights would be running on our cruise and they siad i had to call back a couple of days before the cruise leaves
i no all the theme nights but not all run on the one cruise cause there is too many ...........they are,,,,,,,,,,,pj night,,,,,,bender jender as u said also island night,,,,,fright night,,,,country and western,,,,,,,,,and there are two new ones they are introducing for paciifc sun they are pirate night and super hero night

new caledonia?
Is this the cruise that goes to New Caledonia and back? There's a group of people from my school in that for next year, which have already booked. It's apparently full up already.
I don't think I'd do it though

there was no inside pictures just like a video shot from a helicopter sorta thing so yeh...
a word of advice from someone whos been on over 15 cruises...incl pacific sky and pacific sun (when it was the Carnival Jubilee) if your prone to sea sickness (espeically since this is the South Pacific...far rougher than Mediterrenean or Caribbean):
- DONT take the pill...take the patch...pill makes u drousy and feel lousy...patch is invisible and doesnt have this side affect of the pill
- If you can, request a cabin as middle down the ship as possible, both in terms of not too far near the front or back...and to the top and bottom...a ship works like a pivot point, obviously as the ship rocks, the front and back are the most unstable which is a shit when your trying to sleep...also not too far up top coz it also is unstable...but if your too far down it gets very creeky and noisy from the ship being flexible...noisy creeking is a bitch to try and sleep...
the older the ship, the more creeky it is...
- use the cruise cash card...when they ask you to give credit card details and whatever for the cash card, dont assume 'oh i'll just use cash'...on the ship literally everything u need to pay for is on the cruise cash card account...most places dont accept cash and you'll be fucked wen u wanna drink
- tipping is usually a must but i guess for schoolies...i dont think they'll expect much
- room service is usually free 24/7 on most cruises...but i heard somewhere that P&O Australia has introduced charges...so dont take my word for it and check if you want it (if ur 2 sick to leave the room)
- go2 the pyjarma party...its fuckin hilarious!
