Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Cruise Day 2 on P&O Pacific Encounter | Gatsby Night, Comedy Show & Medal-Winning Fun!

Day 2 of our 11-night back-to-back cruise on P&O Pacific Encounter brings us a mix of fun, relaxation, and Gatsby vibes! 🎩✨ We kicked off the day with a slow start (thanks to the post-Christmas sleep-in), then jumped into some onboard activities like shuffleboard and lawn bowls—and guess what? Matt won a medal! 🏅

As the evening rolled in, we dressed up for Gatsby Night, enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Dragon Lady with our cruise friends @robandalicruisetravel, and ended the day with laughter at the Comedy Gala Show, featuring the legendary Bob Downe (Mark Trevorrow). 🎭

From fun in the sun to dazzling evenings onboard, come along for another adventure-packed day as we share what makes cruising on the Pacific Encounter so special!
