My wife and I are both in our late 50s. This was our second cruise, the first being on Carnival Imagination in February 2008.

Embarkation: We live about 3 hours from Miami and drove to the port on the day of the cruise. We arrived around 11:30. Traffic dropping off luggage and passengers was somewhat daunting but porters were extremely easy to find and helpful. After showing our E-docs and passports, our pictures were captured and we were given our sign and sail cards. We were aboard by 12:15. The process as compared to Carnival was roughly the same.

Cabin: We were in an inside cabin, 10009, on the forward starboard side. The cabin is smaller than Carnival's, which was expected since we had a balcony on our Carnival sailing. There was plenty of storage space and the layout of the bathroom in the Dawn was superior to that of Carnival. One minor irritant was that it proved difficult to keep the bathroom door shut. You have to close the door firmly and jiggle the handle to make sure that it catches. I'd have to give the nod to Carnival for bed comfort. This isn't to say that the Dawn's bed is bad, but rather that Carnival's was better. The room was kept spotless and towel animals were provided every night.
