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

Posted by | Jan 16, 2025 | |

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!

Posted by | Jan 11, 2025 | |

Welcome aboard P&O’s Pacific Encounter as we kick off an exciting new cruise series! This back-to-back adventure begins with a 3-night comedy cruise, immediately followed by an 8-night Pacific Islands journey to Noumea and Mystery Island. In this video, we dive into embarkation day, introducing the ship, settling into our cabin, and experiencing the energy of the sail-away party and first evening aboard.

Join us as we navigate embarkation, enjoy dinner at Angelo’s, dance the night away at the Bianco White Party, and laugh out loud at the comedy shows. Plus, we reflect on the significance of cruising with Pacific Encounter before it transitions to Carnival Encounter.
