In 2002, the ship was renamed "A'Rosa Blu" transferred to A'Rosa Cruises, a new P&O brand aimed at the German market. Financial problems and the acquisition of P&O by Carnival Corporation & plc prompted the ship's reassignment to the AIDA Cruises fleet in September 2003. Following a refit, which saw the ship's passenger capacity increase to 2,014 across 11 decks, her crew expanded to 621, and increases in her tonnage to and , the cruise ship was renamed "AIDAblu" and returned to service in 2004. In April 2007, the vessel was transferred to Ocean Village, and after a small refit in Bremerhaven, was christened as "Ocean Village Two" by sisters Jodie Kidd and Jemma Kidd. The vessel became an informal cruise ship. On 30 October 2008, Carnival announced the closure of their Ocean Village brand, with both ships to be transferred to the fleet of P&O Cruises Australia by the end of 2010. "Pacific Jewel" left on 14 November 2009 for a two-week refit at the Sembawang Shipyards in Singapore, which included minor upgrades and renovation of her facilities. After this, the ship began operation from Sydney. On 27 August 2010, the soap opera "Neighbours" filmed scenes on board "Pacific Jewel". Actors and crew took five hours to shoot on and around the vessel's running track and circus arena on the top deck. Some Pacific Jewel staff were given the chance to be extras in the scenes. Travel Blackboard reported that P&O expected "Pacific Jewel"s appearance on the show to generate more than $1 million worth of brand exposure to the Australian audience. In October 2010, three cruises for October and November (to Vanuatu and Nouméa, Melbourne for the Melbourne Cup, and Fiji) were cancelled after a fault had developed in the propulsion system. On 22 August 2018 it was announced by P&O Australia that "Pacific Jewel" would leave their fleet in March 2019, and her final voyage departed Melbourne on 24 February 2019. November 2018 saw the ship alongside two other cruise ships chartered to facilitate the venue for the APEC CEO Summit, at Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. The ship ("Pacific Jewel") left the P&O fleet on 12 March 2019 . In April 2019, the ship was transferred to the newly formed Jalesh Cruises and renamed "Karnika", serving in the Indian market.
