| Pacific Jewel problem

P&O Cruises has confirmed a
“technical issue” on its current
Pacific Jewel itinerary which will
see the arrival of the ship into
Sydney delayed today.
Now steaming into the harbour
four hours late, the problem will
also necessitate further engine
maintenance after arrival which
will delay upcoming Jewel cruise
departures from Sydney and
Melbourne by 24 hours.
The ship is now scheduled to
depart Sydney on Wed 09 Dec
and Melbourne on Fri 11 Dec,
with Qantas today issuing a fare
waiver allowing fee-free changes
for affected customers.
P&O is also understood to be
offering refunds and $100 cruise
credits to those who are unable
to cruise on the new dates.
