oh dear... we were down there again today saying goodbye to our friends that are on this cruise....

the only upside... not the next cruise but the one after is OURS yipee

fretmelter · April 11, 2011

I did this cruise in the reverse order on the Sun Princess in 2010 and it was fantastic. The only problem with such a long cruise it that it is extra hard to face the real world again!

Kiwi Kruzer · April 13, 2011

I think going this way they get to have Wednesday all over again tomorrow:rolleyes:

Then on the way back they have a day that never was:D

I have been out all day... I missed seeing the bridge cam live.... I bet they were glad to hit terra firma .....

Kiwicruiser25 · April 13, 2011

Thanks Kiwi Kruzer for keeping us up to date with the Dawn Princess!!

I think I'm a Dawn Princess fan, and will be until the last of my friends gets off around Aug :(

Kiwi Kruzer · April 15, 2011

Apia Samoa today..

Gaznjo · April 15, 2011

Don't forget that he has two hours on us!

Kiwi Kruzer · April 17, 2011

They were in Pago Pago yesterday.

Trust they had a good day in American Samoa.

Now sailing North with 4 sea days ahead of them

as they head for Hilo in the Hawaiian Islands.

Kiwi Kruzer · April 22, 2011

In Hilo today...and YAY..

its not raining.

Gaznjo · April 22, 2011

I was so excited to see their bridge cam showed land.... well not the Idyllic vista but it is land.... ready to press that snippit tool then thought better check if dave already has it LOL...

had an email from Ross the other day and everything seems to be going well... what he noticed about longer cruises is that they don't have more activities on board.... just space them further apart.

At least I believe there is a new show on princess... "british Invasion" thank goodness... don't think I can watch shimmy or save the last dance again...LOL

Kiwi Kruzer · April 24, 2011

They were at Lahaina today.

No cam grab as all you could see was .......sea:D

However the seas looked calm so they would have had no trouble getting ashore.

I have been twice on a cruise to Lahaina and not been able to land as the seas have been too big.:mad:

They are now heading to Honolulu , just a short run.

Big day tomorrow as the cruise was also offered in segments , so many will leave ,and many will join , for the run home.

Kiwi Kruzer · April 25, 2011

Looks like a great day in Honolulu......

Its only a short ferry trip over to Moorea, so they usually have the night in Papeete.

That paved area you can see in front of the ship is where all the food stalls, sort of vans that open up, roll up in the evening. Makes for an interesting walk around them all, then back on to the ship for dinner.:D

sandandsea lovers · May 1, 2011

Ahhhhhh, brings back the memories seeing that cam in Papeete. The views from the ship when docked are absolutely beautiful. To be right in the city and look over to the beautiful green volcanic mountains. It is so picturesque. Oh, to be back there............:(

Kiwi Kruzer · May 2, 2011

In Moorea today.

Was hoping to see some shots of the Island from the cam,

but its just pointing out to sea:(

Kiwi Kruzer · May 2, 2011

In Raiatea today...

The Hub of Paradise with Bora Bora and Tahaa close at hand.

Last time we were there they had just built the retaining wall around that reclaimed area in front of the ship, and were about to fill it in.

I think that may be Bora Bora in the background?

Gaznjo · May 2, 2011

just beautiful.....

Kiwi Kruzer · May 4, 2011

Anchored in the lagoon at Bora Bora today

From the Bora Bora Pearl Resort cam,

you can just see Dawn Princess on the right..very small.

Kiwi Kruzer · May 7, 2011

They have arrived in Suva today, so I guess they will be enjoying stretching their legs ashore:D

Sandielle · May 7, 2011

Mmm...why are there so few cruises to Bora Bora? :cool: Love the Pearl Beach pic. :)
