Pacific Encounter Full Tour

A few weeks ago I was lucky to visit the Pacific Encounter in Brisbane as a guest of P&O Cruises.

I was aboard in my capacity as a historian, and had been working with P&O Cruises on the launch of their 90th anniversary of cruising in Australia celebrations. After all the effort that went into it, I’m pleased to say the event was a huge success, but once it was over, I had all day before my flight home was due to take off.

So I took the opportunity to grab my cameras and take a walk around the Pacific Encounter to photograph and film the entire ship!

I’m really happy to bring you this tour of the ship. There’s lots of interesting things to see on board, from the public spaces to the ship’s suites (as well as a few oddities - such as no deck 13).

Check it out and let me know what you think of the ship in the comments over at YouTube.

They beached my damn ship

[ship in pic but not the beaching of it]

It's only a few months since the hand over, and they already crashed the damn thing.

Yes, I know they're already fixing the problem, but our guys never had any problems.

Shaking my head.

when a break turns to hell

So we went to Amsterdam via Ferry… turned out the coach provider had been changed without anyone’s knowledge so the walk was looong… my back went into spasm cutting my break even shorter

Won’t be doing that again anytime soon

Why are ships Christened?

Ships have been christened for about as long as ships have existed. The origins of the ritual was all about trying to bring good luck to a ship - which was often going to face dangerous seas and challenging conditions on long duration voyages.

Going to sea was often a scary prospect in the age of sail. So anything you could do to try and guarantee good luck was considered worthwhile. In essence the tradition is very much one based in superstition. In ancient times, the christenings could involve sacrificing animals and, in some rare cases, even human sacrifice was used, as a way to ‘secure’ good luck for the ship and its crew.

These days things are a lot less barbaric, with champagne and other forms of alcohol used to christen or bless the ship before it sets sail. 

Today, these events are as much about PR as they are about bringing good luck to a ship, and there are differences in the christening traditions of the cruise lines. Though many lines choose to christen their ships by following the tradition of having a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine smashed on the bow of the vessel. This tradition originates in the 19th century and is believed to have been first undertaken by HM. Queen Victoria when christening a prestigious Royal Naval ship.

Greatest Days: A P&O Cruises Musical Theatre Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. I recently went on a P&O cruise around the Norwegian Fjords and saw that they had a musical theatre show. Being a musical theatre fan, I obviously leapt at the chance to go see it. The show was “an adaptation of the acclaimed West End musical The Band”(taken from the official P&O Cruises website—https://www.pocruises.com/greatest-days), now called “Greatest Days.” Now,…
