Rare Smellytoes Posted October 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Well not really. I just went and walked the dog and I can see the Dawn in port waiting for me:D After a two year hiatus from cruising (we tried an all-inclusive resort this summer and Atlantis last summer) it's finally my turn. I'll check in here during the cruise if anyone has any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assout Posted October 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Would love to hear your thoughts. Considering Dawn or Breakaway for December. Obviously one has the nicer ship and not as nice itinerary, and vice versa for the other. Trying to decide which is better/more important. Thanks and enjoy!

Would you mind going up to deck 11 and seeing what is directly across the hall from cabin 11056? That is where I am staying for my cruise and the blank space on the deck plans has me just a little concerned. I don't really like the idea of it being a closet for the cabin stewards(might result in noise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sailed in cabin 10595 and had to find out that there is pool equipment on deck 11 for the pool above it on deck 12 . ( not much noise BUT a constant pump clic type noise ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New ship, lots to see & do. No excursions, just exploring the ship. We booked a Haven/Spa suite. When are you sailing? Looking forward to your cruise posts. Happy Cruising, Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 13, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I have to add that we left our house at 11:00 exactly. We were at the ship at 11:12 and in our room at 11:35. (this includes DH being stopped and having his little scissors taken away) So that was twelve minutes from the front door to the ship. The record still stands at 7 minutes.

Rare Smellytoes Posted October 18, 2013 Author #25 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Off the ship at 9:00. Got luggage and was home at 9:20. Not too bad. It was a great cruise overall. The staff on the Dawn were all great. Roel did a great job his first time as concierge. I have to give special mention to Flor our butler. This was her first cruise back after vacation. She spent 3 days and 4 flights getting from the Phillipines to Boston and had to work the day she arrived. She was professional and smiling when I would have been crying. That jet lag must have been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
