Whoops, have put entry in now, please delete this one…lol

i tell everyone about my first trip on p and o…. it was xmas in 2009 and already booked to go again,, i think so far to date about 10 people have booked or been on p and o becouse of me so if i can tell people about the new ship the PEARL! i think i would make a great inpreshion for a few more people to book with you. just call me p & o spokes lady!

I love the large screen TV, please instal one on all the ships operating in Australia, the Dawn, Jewel & Sun to make our cruising more enjoyable.

I Cruise at least once every year, cruising is the best type of holiday as you can travel the world without changing your room. A true top notch classy way to travel and get to know people. I just can’t wait to see the new Pearl of the Pacific!! : – ))

We’ve taken it down for you now Jo – we don’t want anyone pinching your entry idea Best of luck!

We can’t wait to see it too Jeff. Not sure if any upgrades are being made to other ships at present, however any upgrades usually take place in dry dock.

I’m sure there are others more deserving than I…but we went on our first cruise on the Dawn in July, and my daughter & I where so sick and missed so much But because the crew where so lovely and caring we would love to try again…PLEASE

Cruising is definitely how to holiday! We hope you’ve included this as your answer in the entry form

We are dedicated Princess Cruise lovers but would love the opportunity to be convinced that P&O should be our first choice.

I love life on board a cruise ship. Unpack once then expolore the many intereesting and entertaining aspects of ship life. There is so much to do on board or if you feel like relaxing then there are plenty of areas for that as well. Can’t wait to sail on board the new P & O cruise ship having tried The Sun and The Jewel look our Pearl here I come. Cruising is definitely how to holiday!

cruising is the best holiday,would be great to see pearl and be the the first whoo hoo.

First time cruise for us on the Pacific pearl.
Wasn’t hard to choose this holiday after searching over P&0 pearl brochures. Usually we fly but think now we are in for the perfect trip and are both very excited…

As this is my first ever cruise I am really looking forward to it and to win this sneek peek at a ship I have been looking at since Jan 2010, when I booked my tickets, would be absolutely fantastic. Keeping the word limit to 25 was a tough ask though

My wife and three of her girlfriends are currently on a girlies cruise aboard the Jewell. I am waiting till she gets back so as we can have a cruise aboard your ship. From calls it seems to be a great fun experience

I’m booked to go on the Pearl in July next year and when I saw this competition I got so excited. I was so tempted for my answer to put down “because I’ve paid” hahahaha but something tells me I wouldn’t have won it

just been on the pacific sun going again in march aback to back on the sun would love to have alook on the pearl ihavetwo smallgrandkids i would love to make them ocean travellers

would love to see the pearl and have lunch we just love travelling on the cruise ships i have two small grand kids who wants to be on a ship with nan and pop and check out the pearl lol

So wanted to be on the first sailing from Auckland but alas not to be. But I’m already booked for the May 30th 2011 YIPEE….

Opppps, I’m a Kiwi think I should have used another page… Sorry.

hi I would love very much to see the launch and to part of it. me and my man went on a cruise with the Pacific Star in 2007 and we had a good time on the ship so we book on the Pacific Sun in 2009 that was enjoyed and wonderful we pay my mum and dad on the pacific sun and mum and dad had a good time on the ships. so we book on the new pacific pearl this time my mum and dad and my sis that be her fist time on a cruise we book it on 2 may 2011. thank you P&O

I would like to be the first to step aboard Pacific Pearl, as I have just started a new chapter in my life, Retirement.

Having travelled by ship several times in the last two years I would live to be one of the first to enjoy the Pacific Pearl. Due to medical reasons my cruising days will become limited so this opportunity for me would be of great value and experience.

many thanks

Having travelled by ship several times in the last two years I would love to be one of the first to enjoy the new ship.

After 3 magnificent cruises in the past 3 years on the SUN, we just NEED to see how the PEARL measures up for our next cruise. Annette

having taken my mother on several cruises i find it is the one type of holiday i can still take her on at 98 years young . just to watch her face watching others enjoying themselves is worth every dollar. as I am still paying off the last one I do not want to wait too long before booking her next adventure on p&o as I get asked at least twice a week, ‘WHEN CAN WE GO AGAIN????

My wife (of 53years) and I had always wanted to have a cruise and this appears to be the only way we could satisfy our lifetime ambition as the cruise looks fabulous.GO Pand O the only way to go. Yeh

My wife and I both in our 70’s would love to win this prize as it would be the trip of a lifetime for us.

In 1960 as a 19year old stepped aboard the P.O.Orontes en route to UK.Haven,t been on board a ship since.Would love to see the ship and enjoy your hospitality.

In 1960 sailed to UK on the ORONTES.Would love to see the new

Previous P and O cruises with family and friends have been so memorable,would love the chance to join you for lunch. Choose us please

We sailed to England as young marrieds and loved it. Never been back on a large ship since but is is on our bucket list.

I would love love love to be one of the first to cruise on the Pacific Pearl. Pick me PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE

i want to be the first to experience this ship in Australia, love to wine and dine and enjoy a day out on the sea with P & O. Please pick me.

I first boarded a PO Ship “The Oriana” in Colombo Sri Lanka in February 1964 migrating permanently to Australia. It was a great trip.

Maria Berces &Frank

I have been unwell over the past year and my sister has been so kind to me I would like to shout her a trip

we cruised p&o sky – sun -star we thoroughly enjoyed everything perfect pacific pearl looks a wonderful ship another cruise coming up. brenda

Perfect prize – drawn seven days after my 50th Birthday and Cruise leaves day before my 30th Wedding Anniversay! What more could I ask for?

Lunch on the Pacitic Pearl what a treat for me
I’m usually flying, and just looking down on the Sea!
I’ve never been on a cruise ship
But seen plenty from afar
If I had lunch on the Pearl
I’d feel like a Star

I don’t like flying
Trains are too slow
I think a lunch on the cruise ship Pacific Pearl
Would be the right way to go!

Magic! Prize drawn seven days after my 50th Birthday and Cruise leaves day after my 30th Wedding Anniversary. What more could a girl wish for?

party`d on the star had fun on the sun now let’s have a whirl on the pearl

Were booked the comedy cruise 2011 with friends who have crusies P&O B4 & brag . We want 2 b 1 up on our friends

Have done three cruises & looking forward to next one. Would love to look over your ship in December.

5 cruises with P&O cruises has left me with awesome memories/times of my late wife who died suddenly a Month after our April cruise.

5 cruises have left me with awesome memories of my late wife who died suddenly in May. April cruise this year wonderfull for us both.

Family holidays on the Sky (2x) Sun and Star were fantastically relaxing and entertaining. After a difficult year of work, we would love to relax in the sun on the Pearl!

My most exciting time when I stepped aboard on P & O Arcadia on my very first Cruise in December, 1963 – since then I have become addicted – our last cruise was on Pacific Jewel.

Can’t wait for my husband & I to renew our vowels of 44 years on the PEARL on 06.09.2011.

I went on he dawn on the 6th of feb last year and had a ball and am looking to do it again very soon, love cruising its the best .

Went on the dawn on the 6th of feb last year and had a ball and am looking at doing another very soon . Cruising the seas is the best

my boyfriend and i just recently got engaged and we want nothing more then to go on a p&o cruise.would love to see what were in for

we are an “old” couple who would like to have a last hurrah before we enter the pearly gates or down south. cheers, Maureen

A wonderful dream would come true for an “old” couple!

We don’t understand the moderation connotation!

Please try the competition….the Pearl will be worth it and live up to her name! If you would like any info on her please email me!!!

Hi Carmen, that sounds like a wonderful idea!! You are so lucky to be with the one you love for so long!! Please email me for info on the Pearl……..I have it all!! Including fantastic deals you WILL NOT get anywhere else!!

The Pacific Pearl………where better! Pearl ship, pearl gates!!!! That is obviously your destiny!!

Hi Colin
So sorry about your wife. But glad to hear you made some wonderful memories together whilst cruising. Cruising is the best way to travel……….I’m about to take my son (11) on his first one on the Pearl in Jan 2011. We simply cannot wait!! Making wonderful memories is part of life. What better way to do it than on New Zealand’s first super liner!!!!

You’ll be in for a ‘Dream come true’….the Pearl is beautiful!!

The way to go! Started my cruise life in 1989 and have booked the Pearl for May 2011, can’t wait. Could write a book on the shows I participated in, the blind dates organised, the friendships I’ve made, the awesome food, activities and staff aboard the FairStar, Fair Princess, Pacific Sky and Pacific Sun. People come to me for advice – they look at me and think “cruise”. So much fun over the years. Highly recommend it!

In July this year I went on my first cruise with P&O, and I must say they did an exemplery job of showing me a fantastic time. I enjoyed it so much I could not stop talking to my friends about it. I would like to dine on the Pearl to see if this ship lives up to the fantastic standards that P&O represent.

Thanks a lot
Raeleen J Thorburn

My 2 youngest children (8 year old twins) and I are going on our first cruise on 6th Feb 2011, I am getting really excited and nervous.
Haven’t told the children yet, as I am not ready to put up with “How many sleeps to go Mum?” for the next 5 months. Hope none of us get sea sick.

We have booked a Figi Adventure cruise for February 16th,2012 for our wedding aniversary gift to each other. We got in early so that we can plan and reserve a good position. This will be our first cruise ever so we don’t know what to expect but I’m sure if all this positive feedback is true we will have a fantastic relaxing fun holiday!

In july this year my husband and myself took our 5 grandchildren and daughter for a cruise on the P&ODawn,which they have many fantastic memories from. Lovely to have the opportunity to cruise on P&OsPearl latest ship ,just the 2 of us.

i have never been on a cruise but my new friend has & said it was great. she has been on acouple of p&o cruisers and said its the best way to travel, so i think we better try it thanks.ken &joy.

Cruising is a mums dream holiday. No cooking, cleaning, nagging kids. Bring it on.

I AM A REGULAR CRUISER, LOVE TO EXPERIENCE THE EXCITEMENT, THE ACTIVITIES, THE SHOES, THE ISLANDS AND KIDS CLUB ON EACH AND EVERY CRUISE.

Cruised on the Pacific Jewel this July had a wonderful time most enjoyed my 5pm margurita in the Casbah then the delight of meeting new people and delicious food in the dining room.

A VIP lunch on the Pearl, being married to me, my wife deserves it!!

Hooked on cruising since ‘61 Maiden Voyage of the ‘Canberra’ would love to taste the delights of the Pacific Pearl when she’s buffed & polished.

We simply can’t wait to experience the Pacific Pearl looking fantastic,unique,attractive,inviting,impressive and stylish because that is how we will feel abroard!

BEEN ON THE DAWN.. JEWEL..AND THE SUN CANT WAIT TO GO ON THE PEARL. CRUISING IS THE ONLY WAY TO HOLIDAY

This is the 2nd occasion I have come across your blog post in the last couple weeks. Seems like I ought to take note of it.

Pacific Pearl- the jewel of the Pacific. We loved the northern cruises. so keep up the standard

We really want to do the Cruise on the Pearl on the 15th May 2011, (15day from aukland) We are 100% committed
but are struggling to find another couple…(most of our friends have younger families and cant be away that long)
we are very relaxed happy couple and are happy to team up with any ages I will be celebrating my 50th on board

Hi I am joining the Jan 9th Cruise out of Auckland. My partner always take his laptop every where with him! I have read their is a safety deposit box, is it a room safe or a safety deposit box at reception? If a room safe how big is it?
We look forward to our 1st ever cruise! thanks Cathy

Hi Cathy,

Safety deposit boxes in your cabin are not large enough to fit a laptop, however as cabin access is monitored electronically via your cruise card we can assure that personal valuable items can be left in your cabin.

Thanks,

P&O Cruises

Hi, I have just paid the deposit for a cruise in March on the Pearl.. It will be my 60th birthday, and our 40th wedding anniversary, so I am hoping this cruise will something special.. I was thoroughly ruined on a cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas, and just hope this ship is as good… Looking forward to a new adventure in life..

We are going to Tahiti for our fourth cruise on July 1 on the Pearl,

counting the days!!!

Hey ya, just wondering if you can advise if the draw has been done for the VIP Tour in NZ yet? In the T&Cs the close date was actually ofter the draw date so not sure which of the dates was wrong. And I’m ever so hopeful that you will draw me as i really really wanna have a look around Thanks, Jo
