We are considering cruising Dawn Princess out of Melbourne in October. But we have heard its not in great shape. Any body been on it recently?

 

What's the weather like in fjord lands in October?

 

Thank you

we were on the Dawn a while ago and nothing wrong with the ship, you should have a good time

 

going thru the fjord its like a lucky dip but be prepared as it can get very cold but on the Dawn Princess they do supply blankets for the open deck

She's well maintained for her age. Fiords - well, you could get a picture perfect day (usually misty) but it will be cool. Enjoy your cruise.

Been on her in November, going again in March. I think she is fairly good shape for her age.

The fiords could be risky , its still late winter . If they have to cancel you could get the Marlborough Sounds and Bay of Islands , which many prefer anyway . At least thats what happened to one cruise last year .

She's doing fine.

a very subjective question!

some may say she's in great shape while others might say that she's run down and showing her age.

 

 

 

imho.............a wonderful cruise has nothing to do with what shape the ship is in but the attitude one takes onto the ship.

 

In October you may not even get into the Fjords due to bad weather
