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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We wanted to visit friends in New Zealand and see a bit of the country. We boarded in Aukland at the end of a Sydney-to-Sydney run. It would be better to embark and disembark at the true beginning and end of this kind lf cruise. The folks ...

We chose this cruise around the top end because it visited the places, particularly in WA, which we had always wanted to see. Others had told us how great the cruise was.
The ship itself is tired - it is being sold next May, so it ...

I Had a great time on the cruise. The only disappointing thing was that ports are a long way from most of the cities which is out of Princess control. Sadly I think many people who write reviews expect 5 star facilities for a three star ...

My wife and I had high expectations for this cruise. We had booked a cabin midship, and 2 weeks before sailing Princess call to ask if we would like to upgrade to the suite at the back of the ship for $1100 per person. We were excited.

Choosing the Dawn Princess was a mistake. The ship had pipes leaking into staterooms and public areas and the smell was not pleasant. The staff did not act quickly enough and we were inconvenienced and sleeping in a dank cabin for four ...
