My wife and I had an amazing week on the Dawn. Sure, few bumps through the week, but nothing that would taint the fantastic experience we had on the ship. To break it down as others have, here it goes:
Cabin: We upgraded to a penthouse, and were in 10002 (forward facing balcony). This was money well spend. We underused the butler, but appreciated everything he did for us. We had plenty of room, and the outside deck made the trip. We would be happy with a side balcony, but this was fantastic. Steward was fantastic and our cabin was spotless.
Dining: Ate at specialty Los Lobos, Tappanyaki, Bamboo, Cagney's. Only negative was the food at Bamboo, which we thought was average. The others were top shelf. Garden Cafe and Venetian (complimentary) were also very, very good.
