The Dawn Princess was our mode of transportation on our cruise though Alaska's Inside Passage. The Wallings rate the ship

5stars.jpg - 4506 Bytes
The ship, the cuisine, the entertainment and the crew all rated five stars. Although Matt has sailed several cruises on Carnival Cruise Lines, it would take something monumental to decide not to the the next cruise another Princess Cruise. It was an experience we will never forget. Here are some shots from our 7-night cruise:
