Creator's Key Takeaways

Embarkation took longer than the last time we cruised from Brisbane in June this year but this was a larger ship with more passengers since limits were relaxed.

The magician was brilliant he was really really really good sorry I just I would have thought that for a family show magician it would have been a bit kind of math I mean it was really really good it was very funny he kept the audience engaged the whole time.

Everything's shut down at 12 o'clock can't get a coffee can't get any snacks can't get anything unless you order from room service.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-book parking and use credit card for entry.
Bring masks, vaccination certificates, and other travel documents.
Explore the ship thoroughly as it can be a maze.

YouTube Video Description

This is our Embarkation Day vlog of our recent cruise on P&O's Pacific Encounter from Brisbane to North Queensland. The trip took us to Airlie Beach and an overnight stop in Cairns and the video includes some of our initial thoughts about the recently added Pacific Encounter. Embarkation took longer than the last time we cruised from Brisbane in June this year but this was a larger ship with more passengers since limits were relaxed. This is the largest P&O ship we have cruised on and overall we found the Pacific Encounter to be very stable and well presented although a little confusing to navigate at times.
