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.
On this final photo page that has been made available to me by my cruise-australia
associate and friend Kosta Specis we are going to conclude with the spectacular
“The Dome” atop of the ship on Sun Deck and we then go down to Lido
Deck and view the pools and conclude with the Restaurant’s, the Palm Court
Restaurant and the “Café Del Sol” as well as the night-time
optional “Steakhouse.” You will note that there are a number of
venues not covered, such as the Legends Sports Bar & Casino, the Trattoria,
Lido Café & the Lido Café, Lido Bar poolside, the Spa & Gym as well as
the children’s and youth centres. However, the good news is there will
still be new things for you to discover when join aboard the Pacific Dawn for
your own cruise in the near future - Bon
Voyage!
Entrance
to “The Dome” is via a tunnel on both sides of the ship
During
the day this is a magnificent observation lounge and Bar, akin to P&O
UK’s Crow’s Nest
At
night The Dome becomes the Night Club with live bands entertaining until
Midnight, and then it becomes the Disco
Lido
Deck is fully glazed in, but vents along the top allow ventilation. Perfect for
relaxation and for an outdoor buffet lunch
The
two pools are separated by twin Jacuzzis on a dais
This
is a multi purpose space, table tennis, dance floor and entertainment at night
under the starts
There are
two more Jacuzzis aft on Aloha Deck
The Palm
Court Restaurant
& Café Del Sol
Warm
timbers are a feature throughout Pacific Dawn and this gives the restaurant a
warm and inviting elegance
A
fine glazed panel features the Hibiscus
With
its large windows on three sides, the room has ample light as well as
spectacular ocean views
Above
and below: Aft on Lido deck is the Buffet,
Café Del Sol, open for Breakfast & Lunch
Café
Del Sol extends aft & outdoors
The
aft section of Café Del Sol is divided at night to become: 1. Café Del Sol for
dinner (Free). 2. The Steakhouse (small charge applies).
Accommodations
Mr Specis and his friend travelled in cabin P190, which is a
twin bedded cabin, portside aft on Plaza Deck. It is not one of the higher
graded cabins, however the good news is, that most cabins on the ship close to
identical, be they inside or with a window. Only the top graded cabins, being
cabins with a balcony, mini-suites and deluxe suites are laid out differently
and are much larger. As you can see from this standard sized cabin it is of a
good size and you will note that in this case it has an additional two berths
available for families travelling together. These berths are tucked away into
the ceiling when not in use. Thus, this cabin can be used as a twin, three or
four berth cabin.
Each
cabin is superbly equipped and has ample wardrobe and closet space!
Note
the upper berths in the ceiling
Above
and below: These photos provide a good idea of the width of the cabin. More
generous than o most ships!
Note the LCD
TV
Walk-in
wardrobe
Basin
in the bathroom
Below you will find three additional
photographs of a mini-suite which is especially equipped for wheelchair
dependant passengers. During the cruise Kosta met a delightful couple and they
had booked this mini suite, equipped with a bathroom for passengers with
disabilities. Sadly I do not have their names, but I am sure they will be
delighted to be included in these pages.
Another
happy couple who according to Kosta thoroughly enjoyed their cruise on Pacific
Dawn!
Bathroom suitable
for wheelchairs, etc
A
mini suite has a wider balcony than a balcony cabin
