Just returned from a first-ever girl's cruise on the Dawn. While I can only speak for myself, I believe the other 4 gals who accompanied me would agree with this overall impression.
Embarkation- this was a bit of a challenge because we were delayed due to dense fog in the port. We finally set foot on deck around 9:00 pm.
Stateroom - we shared 2 adjoining balcony staterooms. Sadly, the balcony divider can no longer be open to create a more spacious feel to the room/s. Our Cabins were spotless! Kudos to our steward Gregorio. He was ever present, extremely friendly and especially responsive to our requests. The location on deck 10 was great- staterooms both above and below us.
