Dawn's hours?

[pampaul]

Never been on a cruise before and sailing on the Dawn next month. Can someone tell me what the hours are for stuff like the pool, lounges, restaurants, etc? Or are some of these things open 24hrs?

the buffets are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 -11:00 p.m.(depending on which buffet you go to, there are usually 4 open) dining rooms are open I believe til 10:00, pools are found to be open even way late at night and also the hot tubs..... blue lagoon is open 24 hours and also room service too.....I know one night we were in a lounge til after 1:oo am....by then I am pooped out and ready for bed....no doubt you will find something open even in the wee hours...have a great cruise

Most people assume it is because they're in between the sheets after 4AM. If you're awake and strolling though the stools will be on the tables and they're cleaning up. Not a big deal for 99% of the crowd but just thought I'd let you know. ;)

Doesn't mean you can't put them down and eat, they'll serve you.:D

"Serve" can mean more than the nice thing too. ;)

 

That's like using the head when it's being cleaned. Sure it'll flush but you just don't do those kinds of things. :eek:
