Pacific Eden

We bagged a complete bargain on P&O Eden to Papua New Guinea from Cairns on 16th of September. We had herd so many bad reviews about P&O that we never wanted to do a cruise with them. Well in the time frame that we needed ie September, we didn't have much choice. We noticed a really good deal on Facebook for a suite, so we thought it was worth giving them a try. We didn't expect much, but thought that we'd go in with an open mind. Well, Pacific Eden is a lovely little ship & she's just had a make over. The suite was huge & the bed was super comfy, the veranda was massive too. We learn that we coyld get room service for breakfast & afternoon tea. It was fantastic, breaky on our balcony every single morning. Amazing!! We were also treated to a bottle of sparkling in our arrival, a bowl of fruit & large bottles of water, every day. We were invited to the captains cocktail party & met the captain. We recieved a picture with the captain sent to our room the next morning. Also included was complimentary laundry service, so handy!! We researched & learnt that we should book into the restaurants as soon as we board as you have to book & they fill up quickly. That was quick & easy. There is 3 different restaurants included, Dragon Lady (amazing) Angelo's (really good) & The Waterfront (that was mostly good) They were beautifully decorated. We did Salt grill (which we paid $49 for) But It wasn't impressive. It was extra for lobster ($22) which was disappointing, the food was great but took almost 3 hours all up & we found it extremly hot in there, we were quiet uncomfortable. Good for the experience, but wouldn't do it again. We loved the shows & the parties (Gatsby & white party) they were a lot of fun. The drinks package was great, we loved the mixology bar the most. Was extremely quick to get a drink, the bar tenders really looked after us.... There were 450 kids, but they were really well behaved. No issue's at all (we didn't take our kids as the school holiday cruises fill up quick) The staff were all mostly great, the amount of shops were really good. We loved our cruise & highly recommend Pacific Eden. Papua New guinea was great, a real authentic experience that we hoping for. We would definetly go with P&O again. Way cheaper from Cairns too😊

Travelled from Singapore down via Bali, Lombok, Komodo, Timor, Darwin & finishing in Cairns Australia. First time cruising. 14 nights sailing. Best ever experience!! No shortage of good drinks , great food, great service etc. There was an outbreak of avian flu on board which was quickly seen to. ( one of our travel mates got it. He was quarantined , medicated accordingly as was the rest of his family ( precautionary), then fit to go after 3 days) hand sanitiser everywhere. Fantastic cruise!! Would 100% do it again. Off on an MSC one 2018. Hope it is as good as this lovely ship❤️ Staff.. fabulous ( except on customer service desk.. but only needed them twice thankfully)

Hi yes it was the best cruise ever it was so nice and easy to get anywhere. The Stuff was nice and the food was very good I would go on it again. 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Very old ship, water leaks, poor food, don't waste your money on internet packs so slow usable, shore tours poorly organised, maintenance done on ship while at sea, staff not friendly

Loved our 5 day cruise to Exmouth. Smaller ships appeal to me never seems over crowded. Staff were wonderful, food good, especially Dragon Lady yum. Entertainment plentiful, Ben & Chelsea my favorites. Our 7 year old loved the kids club and family parties were great fun! Would cruise P&O again.
