After reading the reviews on here we were concerned about the Dawn. Very happy to report we had an amazing holiday. It was our first cruise and we would definitely do another one.
We had brilliant sunny weather for 6 days. Embarkation was smooth, tender to Lifou was very easy, disembarking was efficient. The staff were fantastic and worked very hard. The cabin stewards were in our room more often than we were and serviced it at least twice per day. The bar staff know your name and seem to genuinely enjoy interacting with passengers.
Two of the three bands were very good and the entertainment on offer catered to a wide range of tastes and interests. The Entertainment Director Willie and his deputy Matthew do a fantastic job. The white night and Gatsby night were great fun.
