Pacific dawn

We went on this 7 night cruise with our two young children (2 &3) it said family friendly and plenty to do etc.

Cons-

I wouldn't bother taking little kids on this cruise ship there wasnt much for small kids to do they couldn't do any of the activities, turtle cove was good but have to leave the kids there and go and some kids don't like to be left with strangers. There was messy play which went for 20mins in the morning and then the water park which was freezing even on a 30 degree day.

Took way way to long to get off the boat was lining up for over an hour for Noumea, and 45mins for Lifou was fairly quick at Port Vila but to get off to come home was waiting way to long again really unorganised.

They Also broke my brand suit case and were very rough with throwing them on and left them in the rain.

Towards to end of the cruise the youth workers started to seem grumpy obviously getting over working 7 days a week but weren't as cheerful.

Pros-

Food was good and big variety

Ports were really nice and loved them

Workers at resurant were really lovely and always tried to make the kids laugh

All up was a nice trip but would definitely not use the cruise ship with kids as its not very family friendly as they advertise
