Chose this cruise for the southern caribbean itinerary, mid sized remodeled ship, sailing with a few other couples. This was our 15th cruise. The positives, very nice ship remodel overall, food selection was quite broad and varied with decent quality mainly. Crew worked tirelessly and were friendly, with generally great morale. The cruise mainly went pretty well in most departments. Excellent weather mainly, although we had a few very windy days. The negatives: The ship felt very crowded in the public areas many times, especially the pool decks. Very Noisy room at nite.so we did t sleep well, hot room at nite, as they turn the AC to low at nite, further impeding restful sleep. The inside rooms are cramped, way to tight for our comfort. The ship changed the port times on 3 ports from what was in the reservation, and never notified the passengers at all. Cancelled a port, changed another port date, and added another port all in the same cruise. It was hard to keep track of all the last minute changes frankly. Pre booked excursions were a complete mess. The entertainment was decent quality, but very predictable, and we had seen 3 of the acts before on other ships. The ship was boring at night, and we went to bed early most every nite. This was our 2nd time on the Dawn, as we had cruised it a few years ago, and that was a much, much funner ship at night. Overall experience, somewhat disappointing, probably wouldn t do the Dawn again, unless it were at a very low end price.

Cabin IC

Typical small inside cabin. Very tight for 2 people. Bathroom was decent. Noisy from the Garden cafe above all night long, midnight until 7 am. Don't book this room, its the most noisy room Ive ever had on a ship.
