Sail date: /
Ship: Pacific Explorer

Cruises in August 2017. There were still a few issues with toilets and smells a, but apart from that enjoyed the new PAX - Pacific Explorer. Balcony rooms have a slightly narrower balcony, and the bathrooms are snug to say the least. However loved exploring the new ship, loved the little hide away bars like the Bonded Store, very intimate! Overall experience was very good. The staff were exceptional!
