Hey thanks Rob, Jen and Kym for your replies. Can’t wait for the cruise now on 1 April 2010, I can finally say, THIS YEAR! My girls and I went to the cruise terminal to see Pacific Dawn makes its first voyage from Brisbane, counting down the days and my husband is actually warming to the idea, I THINK. Well he now says he is going which is a big step as he hadn’t made up his mind until about 1month ago. I think he may have been a little scared about being sea sick but I’m gonna make sure we all have the tablets the day before and on the first day to prevent any sickness.

Happy cruising!

Michelle,

We took my Dad on a cruise with us in 2005, and he had the same attitude right up to the day we cruised. On the second day sitting around the dinner table, he looked at my Mum, my partner & I and said “what was I worried about??” A week after we got back, he was insiting on booking the next one! Since that first cruises he’s been on 2 more and has another booked for next year.

Don’t worry – once your hubby’s on board and getting involved, he’ll love it.

Michelle, cruises are fantastic although can’t please everyone.
I would suggest to relax and have a few cocktails. Do what you like when you like. Don’t rush, explore whole ship from top to bottom.
I have herd people say the same as you. One man in our area didn’t really want to go with his wife. When they returned from cruise he is now a walking P & O brochure.
He has nothing but good things to say and won’t stop talking about when will his next cruise be.
Some people get addicted straight away and some it takes a few cruises to catch the cruising bug.
I am going in January and I know my hubby likes things I don’t, so he will go to Casino and I will go to pool with our kids. We will all go in different directions on our cruise. I will also go & check out shops onboard & explore all areas of the ship.
Try buffet and then try sit down reasturant, where you are served (for all meals, breakfast, lunch & dinner). I always try everything although at lunch, last cruise didn’t want to get dressed up to go in reasturant, so I just went to buffet with my cozzie & a beach dress on.
Men must wear shirt and enclosed shoes in reasturant. No thongs or singlet tops. So buffet at lunch is great for this attire.
Have you checked out sample menus on P & O website? they are really good & they do change everyday.
Click on what ship you are on: eg: Pacific Dawn, then Dining then click on sample menu – They are all underlined, breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Have a great time.

Hi Michelle my wife and I have just come back from a 9 day cruise on the Dawn it was a fantastic time we had a ball my wife has never been outside of Australia before and she always gets sea sick on the manly ferry well she took sea sick tablets one day before we sailed and the first day at sea and she was fine I to havent been on a cruise for years and yes i was also on the Oriana in 1980 so things have changed it was great i really enjoyed the snorkling I got in at Poum and Lifou it was great. Tell your husband he will have the time of his life and we are looking at booking again for next October. If he likes his food well he will be in his glory.

Have a great time

Hi, I have booked a cruise on Pacific Dawn for my husband, myself and our 2 daughters.

I’m so excited as I went on the Oriana when I was 17 some years ago now. We are leaving on 1 April 2010 to go to Vanuatu. My husband is not happy as he says its not his kind of holiday, (although he can’t tell me why) I keep trying to tell him he’ll have a great time once he’s there. Any positive comments for him from anybody??

Hi Jedda,

Yes you’re right. It was from the previous cruise, and the post had been delayed a few days before being posted. I’ll look to having them date stamped in future.
