NSWP Posted April 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Ye olde Dawn Princess scrubs up well, considering she is 25 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted April 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks Mr Kiwi, Seeing those gives me flashbacks to the Sean Riley worst jobs episode on Sea Princess. She looks great with a fresh lick of paint, but I reckon the cabin furniture and bathroom will still be original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you are coming from here 🙂 - but I have to say that we sailed on Pacific Dawn for nearly 10 years and helped the Captain bring her back from a refit in Singapore in 2019 ( via Komodo Island and an overnight in Darwin) and she looked better inside and outside than we had ever seen her. 🙂 - and then came the pandemic. I would love to see her as AMBIENCE. After sailing many times from Southampton, I have always wanted to sail from Tilbury in London. Who knows what the future holds??

Vader1111 Posted April 17, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hope they're giving her more than just a lick of paint. In her previous guise as Dawn Princess she was easily the worst ship I've ever been on. Air conditioning that didn't work, breaking down 3 hours into the cruise, water leaks all over the ship (when my parents cruised on her). She needs a LOT of loving attention before I'd consider her fit for cruising ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted April 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We sailed on the Dawn Princess several times and had no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted April 17, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2022 She first arrived here a year after Pacific Dawn, so has definitely become part of the furniture. Done 2 as Dawn Princess and 2 as Pacific Explorer. We were last on her for Australia Day 2020, and she was shipshape then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt knocked her around a bit, all those beer swilling Aussies, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
