Creator's Key Takeaways
PNG's on Australia's doorstep, but it seemed a world away. Um, I was shocked. I still I'm shocked when I think about it.
We left feeling pretty flat and shocked at the absolute poverty and the lack of modcons in our first real insight into life in Papu New Guinea.
It was a really interesting show of music and dancing. And at the end of the show, we actually tasted Cara and ate some of their local grown foods.
The colors of the Coral Sea defied belief. It was so clear. It was so green, yet it was so blue.

We cruised from Brisbane to Papua New Guinea (PNG), stopping at Alotau, Kiriwina Island, Rabaul and the Conflict Islands. We cruised with P&O Australia (now Carnival Cruises) on the Pacific Encounter (now the Carnival Encounter). Never having been to PNG before, we really enjoyed our taster. But it wasn't all positive. Watch our episode and see why we were shocked. #cruisetravel #cruise #cruiseship #cruiselife #cruiser #papuanewguinea #png #brisbane #brisbanecruiseterminal #alotau #kiriwnaisland #rabaul #conflictislands
