Wow !<\/p>\n

I reckon I would book the Dawn Princess just to attack the poolside hamburger grill, the ice-cream bar and then the patisserie!\u00a0 Then, at other times I’d take up the option to laze about the 77,500 tonne floating palace.\u00a0 The Dubai-Sydney cruise sails from Dubai on September 21\u00a0 for Mumbai, Goa, Cochin, Phuket, Langkawi, KL, Singapore, Darwin and then Sydney.\u00a0\u00a0 Hey, the price is also another drawcard.\u00a0 Starting from as low as $4199, per person twin share, it includes one-way air fare from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Adelaide to Dubai.\u00a0 Ring toll free 1300 369 848, or visit www.ecruising.travel \u00a0<\/p>\n
