The seven ports of New Caledonia, Vanatu and Fiji were the reason we choose this two week cruise from Sydney. The trip was great the interior room was well laid out and comfortable, the first sitting in the Venetian dining room was enjoyable food always excellent, tasty and a great selection beef tenderloin, duck, terrific lamb chops, loved the salmon.All the staff aboard the Dawn were professional and very accommodating at the dining table, buffet and cabin could not have been any better. Staff are good at keeping things clean throughout the ship.

The entertainment at night was very good and a variety of performers and great dancers were shown. The only problem was one needed to rush to the main theatre as it has insufficient capacity and 15% at each performance are not accommodated. Princess should live broadcast in the evening on the main deck one of the shows so everyone has an opportunity to see the shows.......I believe broadcasting one live performance each night would eleviate any problem with copy write since no copy is actually made.

One other thing that could improve Princess's performance would be to repeat show main movies over the day in one corner of the many bars. This could be done on a large TV screen. The various films rebroadcast in cabin TV's are often difficult to identify in advance and too often because of dining times conflict. The ships daily newspaper could identify perhaps two movies repeatedly show in a set bar.
