We cruised on the Dawn to Bermuda the second week of May this year. It was by far the best vacation we have done. We have previously sailed the breakaway and gem. Both were good as well but the Dawn was just a great experience. The staff was absolutely amazing, the ship even for being older was clean and very nice. We stayed in a minisuite which was the perfect size and had a large balcony. The food in all the restaurants we visited was excellent, the Buffett left a little to be desired as far as dinner choices go, I there were lots of Asian inspired dishes and not a ton of variety, but foods I did try ranged from ok to good. The family theme pool at the back of the ship was nice and never too crowded my son enjoyed the small slides and we enjoyed the view from the hot tub there. I loved the fact that the main pool was family friendly Luke on the Gem, that was a big reason why I would prefer the dawn or gem over the breakaway, we spend a lot of time at the pool and the breakaway setup is very inconvient, especially with a 10 yr old boy who would rather swim than play in 3 feet of water. The island of Bermuda was amazing by far the best port we have visited. Staying for three days was great, still so much we did not get to see and do. Can't wait to take the Dawn again!
