Dawn Princess
Dawn Princess cruises out of Sydney and Melbourne around Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands. Annually in May she departs for a 3-month circumnavigation of the world. Cruises range from 12 nights upwards. Dawn Princess has five types of cabins: insides, outside, balconies, mini-suites and suites. Of her 975 staterooms, 603 have windows and 410 have balconies. Room service is available 24 hours a day. There are two main dining rooms (no “Anytime Dining”), and dinner is served in two set seatings in each dining room with assigned tables and tablemates. A popular dining venue is the casual Horizon Court, open 24 hours a day; also La Scala Pizzeria, another alternative for lunch or dinner. Passengers booked in cabins with balconies can order several special, romantic meals to be served restaurant-style on the verandah.

Dawn Princess entered service in 1997 at 77,000 GT carrying 1950 passengers, and now targets Australian travellers. During her 2009 refurbishment additions included a Movies Under the Stars screen in the main pool area and an adults-only private sunbathing area, the Retreat, at the front of the ship. Daytime entertainment offerings include all the cruise ship standards, plus a wide range of “@Sea” activities (computers, ceramics, dance etc.) for every taste. One special offering is the Ultimate Ship Tour, and for a price receive many take-aways. On world cruises passengers generally commit to a regular activity. In the evening having two show lounges is a great way to give passengers more entertainment choices. Add bars, lounges, cinema, nightclub, and casino for adults; and “Fun Zone”, Shockwaves, and teen Remix program caters for all the youngsters. Guests are Australians and New Zealanders; for long itineraries there are more seniors, at other times families and teachers.
