Dining-wise, there will be multiple eateries onboard Pacific Adventure. Dining is where and when you like: “Your Choice Dining” at two main dining options, the formal Waterfront Restaurant (and dress up for the occasional formal dinner), and the casual Pantry with its contemporary cafe vibe and multiple serving stations. Designed as an international food market, The Pantry will have around nine cuisine selections, perhaps in the evening being Shell & Bones seafood.

The line’s celebrity chef Luke Mangan offers his Salt Grill steak and seafood restaurant., and for an exceptional evening make a reservation at Chef’s Table, which include a tour of the galley and commentary by the Executive Chef. 400 Gradi Pizzeria serves great pizzas at a price. Guests in suites and mini-suites are members of the Byron Beach Club, with their own private dining concierge service including priority dining at all venues. (In addition, members have access to a private pool and spa, and top-deck lounge.) Casual dining options start with the al fresco Grill (pay) next to the pool for breakfast, lunch and through the evening.

The Café for coffee and muffins and the like. Socialise at the many bars and lounges, and there’s a dance floor.
For adults on board there’s a burlesque show Blanc de Blanc featuring aerial stunts and circus cabaret. In the evening having two show lounges (both theatre and cabaret style) is a great way to give passengers more entertainment choices. View all the action and latest movies on the Poolside Screen day and night on the lido deck. Other entertainment includes game shows and the adults-only Sit Down Comedy Club.
There are multiple bars and a casino, much live music and karaoke. Shore tours by P&O are excellent and varied. Re-fitting the ship for 2020 will surely include P&O Edge (additional charge), Australia’s largest adventure park at sea, for children and adults. Its 19 activities include high rope swings, Walk the Plank, laser tag, slack lines, Segway obstacle courses, flying fox lines, funnel climbs and many more designed around the ship’s existing architecture.
Read moreOn board by day guests can join in a variety of organised activities such as bingo. Alternatively, just stroll around and shop duty-free, or for a quiet time retire to the Library or Internet Café. Upper decks offer an adults-only Oasis spa area, complete with wicker beds, lounges, ottomans, pool and hot tubs, sports courts and night club.

Cabins will be roomy and nicely appointed, with satellite TV access to major channels. Standard cabins are practical and attractive, many have additional upper berths for children, and some have inter-connecting doors. The larger the stateroom, the more additional facilities. All cabins are spacious with wardrobes, en-suites, and twin beds mostly convertible to queen size.
Facilities include flat screen TV, fridge, personal safe, and an interactive video system. Outside cabins have a large window or porthole in the case of a few. Interconnecting cabins for families and groups allow quad-quad, twin-quad, triple-triple, and twin-twin bedding. There are 560 balcony rooms and 230 suites and mini-suites. Four types of suites are available, including two family suites, each of which can sleep up to 10 people if four are children – otherwise eight adults.
