KevinsCruising Posted June 16, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hello, I have sailed on the Dawn in July of 2005. I am again sailing very soon, 6/29/08. Will I see any difference with this Freestyle 2.0 going on ??? Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted June 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2008 As soon as you set foot on the ship, you will be greeted with a flute of champagne. Your very first night sleep, you will notice you are off to dreamland as soon as your head hits the pillow. The new bedding is delicious. Those are just two of the many upgrades you will notice are different. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinsMommy Posted June 17, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2008 We were given a choice of champagne or OJ when we arrived on board. Kids camp is now open all day, not just alloted times. Bedding was new, beds were not (in our mini) Our bed had huge body impressions in them and a big bump in the middle. New pillows. Room service was updated to reflect 2.0 Food was superior than in the past. Lobster night was 2 nights on the ship NO cookies on last night Fruit menu was given but fruit never replenished New menu's at specialty restaurants Upgraded soaps and shampoo were in our room Overall, except for the mattresses and no cookies 2.0 was pretty much in place on the 6/8 cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cruise4Ever Posted June 17, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Not only that, but you'll see up-graded deck furniture (beautiful, I might add). Also, they've toned down the noise level by the pool. No more pool games (too many complaints of noise). And, the live music by the pool is not as loud. Much more relaxing, IMHO. Also, all new menus in the main dining rooms (very delicious as usual). Up-graded robes in the suites (so comfy I wanted to stay in it all day!!!). I believe robes are available to all passengers now (not sure, though). We received a personal escort to our cabin (surprisingly it was ready when we boarded at 11:30). I'll be posting my review later today or tomorrow. We just got back from the Dawn on Sunday. One word: AWESOME!!!! It could NOT have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongordon Posted June 17, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Has the buffet changed? The buffet on the Gem was fantastic and I never eat in the buffet! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotaddict Posted June 17, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Any one have a copy of the new menus or room service menus??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiedustdawn Posted June 17, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Has the buffet changed? The buffet on the Gem was fantastic and I never eat in the buffet! Don Don, The buffet was similiar to the Gem, except the layout was different. I liked the layout and the dessert area on the Gem better. I found the Dawn's layout to be a bit confusing. Never knew what side was open. They did have the actions stations in April. (Food made to order) Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Luv2Cruz* Posted June 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the post. All good info for my trip next year!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilmille Posted June 17, 2008 #11 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I agree with the bedding on the Dawn. The bedding was better than any 5 star hotel we have stayed in the past. The pillow menu is great. Just be careful. The first day, we missed breakfast and slept to 11. We NEVER DO THAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
