Creator's Key Takeaways

It's GAME OVER for P&O Cruises. So what happens next?

This is a significant moment as it was a P&O ship that made the first ever passenger Transit underneath the Sydney Harbor Bridge when it first opened in the 1930s

I'm personally very fond of the Pacific encounter and Pacific Adventure mainly because of their connection to P&O cruises Australia

Carnival Splender has some really interesting onboard features as well and if you're looking for a place to escape the everyday life then you can't really go wrong with a Joe farcus inspired interior

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the unique history and design of the Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter when choosing a ship
Explore the Carnival Splendor for a Joe Farcus-inspired interior experience
