DAWN PRINCESS MAY 2006 GALLERY
The May 2006 Cruise was a four day/three night transit from San Francisco to Vancouver, with a day stop in Victoria. J and I travelled aboard the Dawn Princess, one of Princess's Sun Class ships, so the structure and layout was virtually identical to the Sun Princess, which we cruised on last fall.
The coastal weather for May was, however, not as nice as September.
In addition to chilly temperatures, we also encountered a northern swell
and high winds giving us a rocky first couple of days

Hey, wake up. Nap-time for the Geratol set. |

No one told me I had my jacket caught on the chair. My sholder pads look like something from Dynasty |

While J was in Victoria, I wandered and took some shots of the ship. This is the forward elevator lobby near the Lido deck buffet and steakhouse. |

The forward sun deck, on the Sun Deck. Fancy that. There a two foot deep splash pool - classed as Adults Only. Go figure. |

A skewed tiles shot of the four deck atrium. My camera angles were a bit wonky, but I think it gives you the feel for the size. |
