Please Note: Cruise-Australia is a
non-commercial and privately owned cruise site. I have been in the passenger
shipping industry since 1960 and I am currently retired, but continue to write
cruise & ship reviews and write articles to inform cruise & ship
enthusiasts to provide information for those intending a cruise. If you are
interested in a cruise, I am happy to refer you to a dedicated cruise agent in Australia or New Zealand, agents that
specialises in cruising and who will be able to best to advise you and offer
the best fares possible. Be assured, I do NOT receive a commission from these
agents, and in the majority of cases these agents will not be aware of my
involvement as I provide the enquirer with the requested information and the
agents (in their region) contact details. Or you can visit my recommended AGENTS
page for their direct contact details.

As we wonder
up the stairs you are greeted by fine timbers and superb Italian murals

Crown
Jewell’s on Emerald Deck is the hub of fine shopping, Jewels,
watches, perfumes all at Duty Free prices

Bacchus
Bar again features two elegant murals, again reminding us of this ship’s
fine Italian heritage

Looking to
aft of the ship with the Photoshop doors closed, the ships Gift Shop is located
starboard (to the left of picture & seen below)

Gift Shop on Promenade Deck on the Atrium
Promenade Deck
We now commence a tour of the Promenade Deck
Lounges, Bars, The International Showroom and the ships main Restaurant.
Thankfully, unlike her predecessor, the Pacific Sun, Pacific Dawn has a genuine
Promenade Deck to stroll along, something that cruise lovers have missed and
are happy to see back according to the hundreds of emails I have personally
received. But, now we have a ship that fits our climate and standards perfectly!
In addition in December 2009 Pacific Dawn’s sister ship the ex Crown
Princess, was renamed the Pacific Jewel and was permanently based in Sydney, thus the Pacific Dawn having headed up to Brisbane. Although
Pacific Jewel’s interiors are quite different and her lounges have been
modernised, in addition they took out the fabulous Dome lounge and replaced it
with Spa facilities. That may be fine for some, but personally, I feel that The
Dome is the ultimate feature of the ship! See our feature on her … Pacific Jewel
I will now commence from the front of Promenade Deck and visit each
venue, except the main restaurant, which I will deal with under a separate
heading. I will conclude with several images of the Promenade Deck exteriors.

These
four photographs provide a good view of the massive, multi level International
Show Lounge

The
Atrium – located here is the Photoshop, Gift Shop and the delightful
Bacchus Bar

Long
hallways on both sides of the ship lead from the Atrium past the Bengal Lounge
& Promenade Lounge to the main restaurant

The Bengal
Lounge & bar has that touch of British India

Bengal
Lounge bandstand and dance floor – the place for
leisure & music during the day and to dance the night away!
