Thanks dfish! I will keep looking...!

Thank you, Turtles06, yes it seems way in advance, but so be it! I will keep my eye open for a posting! Do enjoy your trip!

I am shocked (shocked, I say!) that almost all the Signature Suites (and Verandah cabins too) are already booked now for July 2019! Can anyone let me know when HAL posts these voyages usually, so, when I might be able to book a 2020 voyage? Whew! Thanks in advance.

Hello, I cannot find the Icelandic HAL voyage for September 3, 2019, could someone post the link please? Thanks in advance.

Thank you all for your good advice (and poker tip, too! ;) ) We will be sure to take all this into account as we plan for VOV!

Hello. Sorry if this is not the correct place to ask this question... We are thinking of booking VOV 2019, and I would like to know if there is anyway to obtain priority embarkation / tenders without having the top level Neptune Suites? Is there some way to pay extra for these? My husband had double knee surgery and cannot stand still for more than 15-20 minutes, but he can walk so isn't classifiable as 'handicapped.' Thank you in advance for any advice!

Dear Momofpuppy, I am glad I am not the only one to have noticed (and unfortunately fell off) the dangerous steps!

I've seen pictures of other spas which seem much better designed. I noted the problem with the ship, for what that was worth, and even spent time in Sick Bay, so maybe they will take some notice! I hope you enjoy your upcoming trip - other than the bruises, I have to say I enjoyed the Dawn very much!

I would be wary of purchasing the Thermal Spa on the Dawn. Both of the hot tubs have, IMHO, inadaquate rails for the steps into/out of the tubs (above ground level). I slipped and fell from the top of the stairs onto the tile flooring, and I can tell you there was nothing to break the fall. I was lucky to only have been bruised. The hours are limited as some other posters mentioned, especially when in port. And because they are supposed to drain the hot tubs every day, you may find both out of service at the same time. For me it was not worth it.
