South Pacific cruise

[Jaycee]

We're booked and heading off on May 3rd, can't wait! We are on the pacific dawn for seven nights.

Our boys will be 3 and 6. Kids club starts at 3 and they must be toilet trained to attend on their own.

There are a few different food options, most included, some cost extra. Anything other than water and instant tea/coffee are extra and not included in the package.

I plan to take lots of medications we may need as the medical centre on board is extremely expensive, make sure you get travel insurance too.

Definitely take travel sickness meds too, just incase!

Happy to answer any other questions if I can

That's awesome Jaycee! And Taurean, how exciting to even be thinking about it.

Jaycee are there any provisions for younger kids? Babysitting type things?

We have cruised but not with children, have our first cruise with DD this August.

Not really child related but take a power board - that is my biggest tip for cruising. There is usually one little power point in the room and you have 50 things to plug in - power board saves the juggle. Thermo coffee cups are good too so you can fill and go :-)

I'm pretty sure there is no babysitting on board but kids club runs late, which could work if you're open to the idea.

Not on the P&O that I know of OP, I think it all starts at age 3. The kids clubs run until around 9pm, they will stay open until 2am for a surcharge which is good to know, especially if you're wanting to do an adults only show, some of them start around 9pm I think.

I would actually recommend against this, power boards are prohibited on board, at least on P&O Cruises, as it overloads the system, not to mention the safety issues with taking a power board that hasn't been tagged and tested by an electrician.
