Answer 3

check with the boat. They will give you the best advice per childs age. You do not need to bring towels, you will have some on the boat and I believe they let you onto the beach with them. Generally they have dispensers in the laundry room where you spend a dollar and get a box of detergent.

Have fun and don't sweat the small stuff!  

Answer 4

Having done several P&O Cruises myself do a bit of both - prebook some but otherwise when you get off at each port you will find local operators that sell the same tours at a cheaper price! You have 2 stewards assigned to each cabin and they will assist you with anything you need including extra towels. When you get into your cabin have a look in the cupboards and the beach towels are usually hidden in there (not in the rather limited spaced bathroom)! Hmm sorry not sure about the laundry powder - i've actually never done my washing onboard before... are you sure that the Pacific Dawn has self laundry facilities? one of the P&O ships that i've been on (it wasnt the Pacific Dawn though) didnt have a facility such as this, so I just waited until I got home otherwise you'd have to pay per item! Maybe you might just want to check that out with your travel agent?
