The Dawn Princess
Boarding is always a bit tiring, but once we got to our balcony room, it was restful and we had a great view. The ship has beautiful common areas, such as the atrium. The ship is showing its age in some areas. For example, the chairs in the Princess Theater are a bit worn. Additionally, the hallways have had a rather musty smell.
We learned that the vast majority of passengers were Australians and out of 200 total passengers, 1400 were traveling for the first time on Princess. We met many Australians and that was a highlight of the trip.
C227: Small balcony, but we loved having a place to sit out and read, listen to music and enjoy the ocean. The cabin was a decent size. The bed was NOT comfortable. Very saggy.
