The Princess Line Cruises were recommended to us and thought we would book following my husband's ill health and also the ease of catching the cruise in Fremantle. We didn't know that this was the Dawn's final cruise. 2 days into the cruise, we realised that they were just winding down with no consideration to paying guests. They ran out of Stout, whiskey, gin and Red Wine unless you took the ...

We have cruised on the Dawn before and had a great experience. Not so this time. She's an old ship and we expect some issues so put up with foul smells of wet rotting carpet and air conditioning that didn't work properly, but this was Dawn Princess final cruise to Singapore before going over to P & O. We did NOT expect to run out of many non perishable goods or have the shops shutdown halfway thru ...

The Dawn Princess is 20 years old. It had lots of charm and was on its second to last cruise before going out of the fleet. Of the 1900 passengers, all were either Aussies or Kiwis. There were only 70 Americans. At least we all spoke the same language. The average age of the passengers was 72 and there were only 4 children. The staff was wonderful--very cordial, delightful, and seemed to ...

We booked this cruise in June 2016 and looked forward to it very much. Things changed after about day 2. The majority of passengers were 75 years old up to around 87 years old. I have nothing against the elderly and it is great to see them still enjoying an active life. The activities on the ship seemed to cater for this age group which made the trip extremely uneventful and boring for my ...

We were with our family on this Cruise and almost everything was almost good. Food was great and lots of activities. But we could not leave our children to the childrens club because staff look liked that they weren't sober and smelled like liquor.. They should make them take breathtests before allowing to work. Because of that we missed some activities and hope that if we come again there's more ...

The Cruise took in the Cherry Blossoms in Japan, I was very excited as I wanted to travel on the Bullet Train and visit Mount Fuji. To my surprise Princess Tours DID NOT Offer these two very important travel adventures, they offer a VERY EXPENSIVE Bus Trip with VIEWS of Mt Fuji. I arranged a Group and took 11 other people we had 13.5 hours ashore we did the Bullet Train Mt Fuji Tokyo ...

This was a last minute bargain, two night cruise from Sydney to Brisbane. The ship was going on for another forty nights through Asia so about 700 were only on until Brisbane. I expected to find a ship in need of some TLC as it is to be rebranded into a P&O Australia ship in coming months but the ship was in surprisingly good condition. We had a good time and good weather, although we did ...

This Cruise was on my Bucket List, and although i had been to New Zealand before- 10 yrs ago via a Coach Tour. I wanted to do it via a Cruise. It went to all of the places that i wanted to see,as well as passing the countryside from the ship.We cruised into towns that i wanted to see. Going to FIORDLANDS was fantastic,even though it was misty and showery.It did not stop us from seeing the ...

Seeing Australia and New Zealand has always been a dream. We found interesting things to do and the scenery was always beautiful. The ship is due to retire and be sold soon, and it definitely showed. The entertainment was quite good with a lot of variety - singers, magician, comedians, even a ventriloquist. The Princes singers/dancers were very talented. One night two dancers did an absolutely ...

We wanted to see more of our own beautiful country from a different perspective and to enjoying exciting Sydney. Loved the itinerary, my favourite places were The Bay of Islands,Sydney and the spectacular Milford Sounds. We didn't have the best weather, not a lot of sun, beautiful in Sydney but sailed off into a severe storm on departure with thunder and lightening all through the night. ...
