We arrived for embarkation on the Dawn around 1:30 - couldn't have been easier, two of us are latitudes members, and we breezed through, with a very friendly employee, telling the non cruiser how much fun she would have!
We went directly to our state room on Deck 9 with a balcony.
The itinerary was perfect. I loved how there were six sea days that really enabled you to enjoy what the ship has to offer. It was nice not having to get up and out to do a port every day.
Three women, lots of luggage, and we made it work! When the three beds are out, not much space, but as long as you work in an assembly line, ie one showers, one does hair and makeup, and the other dresses, it works well!
We brought the only chair out on the balcony, so we would have three there, to watch the beautiful sunsets!
