Sail Date: Dec 2013

We travelled from Melbourne to New Zealand on the Dawn Princess (December 2013-January 2014). We are first time travellers on the Princess Line.

Embarking at Port Melbourne was excellent, quick and easy we were in our suite in 15 minutes and our bags arrived approx 30 minutes later. Disembarking was even quicker 10 minutes once called.

Our suite (mini) was lovely we opted for cabin C744 on deck nine aft of ship, we like the motion of being aft and this suite given it's location is bigger than other mini suites, it's almost as big as a suite. Lots of marble and wood, we had a walk in robe with a deposit safe and lots of room for my many outfits. A large bathroom with jacuzzi and shower lots of storage and a separate toilet with large mirror more storage. There were also two televisions although reception was a little fuzzy. The theme carried on in these rooms more marble and wood.

A large bathroom with jacuzzi and shower lots of storage and a separate toilet with large mirror more storage. There were also two televisions although reception was a little fuzzy. The theme carried on in these rooms more marble and wood.The queens sized bed was comfortable and the pillows good. We had a double lounge and two chairs in leather and a large balcony with two chairs a table and two lounges approx 6ft in length. There was also a bar area and a desk and chairs more mirrors and lots of lighting. The entrance was lovely with a little walk in.On the down side there was not enough power points and we ended up with a power board and extension cord curtesy of Glean D'Silva our cabin steward. A special mention must go to Glean who was outstanding and a credit to the princess cruise line, Glean is one of the best cabin stewards I have ever come across, he was very competent, professional and friendly without being intrusive.On the downside when the weather was rough this cabin is very noisy, everything bangs and creaks loudly.
