kuldalai Posted October 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Three Sun class ships must be too much for Princess to digest year round in Australia at present . So Dawn Princess is to be shunted off and re-named to P&O Australia (joining a lot of other hand me downs from Carnival) from May 2017. Golden Princess then stays year round down under with Sun and Sea Princess . Golden Princess will do 75 day circle Pacific itinerary ex Sydney in 2017 . __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted October 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We are sad to have lost the Golden. We have been on her for 42 days and she is one of our favorites. Enjoy her in Australia. We have wanted to take an Australian cruise and maybe we will get the chance to take one on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted October 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The 75 day cruise sounds great... now, if I could only afford it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted October 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Considering you have 22 of Carnival Corporation's ships available to pick from I'm sure you should be able to find something to sail on. Some of your hand me downs would be more then welcome back here in the states. Happy Sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted October 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Went round Australia on the Dawn a couple of season ago and that ship is one of my favorites! Seems to me though that it was already pretty much operated as a P&O ship even then. Although there will be some physical changes I'll bet the onboard experience will remain just as good.

DrivesLikeMario Posted October 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2015 There's a lot of competition in the Land Down Under now. It wasn't that way about 4 years ago. Now Celebrity has made a big presence, in addition to others. Those of you in that area finally have a nice choice of ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of your hand me downs would be more then welcome back here in the states. Happy Sailing. Hi, Can you please advise which are the 22 Carnival ships that we can readily choose from in Australia/New Zealand. If you would like some of our hand me downs we could let you borrow Pacific Pearl, Pacific Dawn, Pacific Jewel. These are the ships that have been doing most of the sailing down under, they are well and truely tired and need a rest. The Pacific Sun has been taken off the P & O Fleet, she well and truely earned her rest. Regards, :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted October 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi Did you see this article on the CC News? Lists the ships. But then again as I read it again not really a year round thing but interesting reading. :) http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=6555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted October 10, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 10, 2015 And less than 10 years ago Princess had one ship here (680 PAX) for about 4 or 5 months a year. We've come a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
