I know that there have been some negative postings on the message board and other reviews of the Dawn Princess recently, but I wanted to chime in with my 2 cents worth.
The best part of our cruise was the fine people we met on-line at this site before sailing, we hit it off with everyone and had a great time with several group shore tours, dinners, Karaoke, etc. together.
We are veterans of 11 cruises on several different lines, but this voyage exceeded my expectations in all respects. We found the cabin service excellent, an adequately staffed crew (despite rumors to the contrary), very good food in the dining room (Personal Choice), and very friendly cruise staff.
