Just posting in case anyone is interested about the condition of the Dawn.People coming off the first cruise since drydock had some problems.So far everythings been perfect for us.i'm sure some may experience some inconviences,but we're having a great time.Today we stopped at Grand Cayman,the first time we were told since the damage.Didn't get off,so not sure what to find ashore.We are having some problems seeing some of the early shows,not sure why it's so crowded.Not a big deal.Only being my second cruise the first of the Golden,I like the size and the layout of the smaller Dawn better.We are in R335,and the location is perfect.Very easy to get to anywhere.Well back to the party.Future Dawn cruisers are going to have a blast.

Thanks Mel and Barb - save some souffle for us. We will be passing you in the port when we get on the Dawn 12/13. Enjoy your trip and make it last as long as you can!

Just curious, did you get to meet up with your fellow Cruise Critic rollcall group yet ??

Hi,

 

We are right behind you. How's the weather? Have you been making the ports on time? Have a great time - save some food for us.

We are in r324 for April 9th. Is there any noise from the Horizon Court above you?

[GSDsky]

Booked in Jan in R345.

Thought the best for our lifstyle. Need and wants etc etc...

 

Thank you again

[Bluedevilump]

Mel,

If you remember, we met you at the sailaway. We are in R344 and agree with you 100% about problems on this cruise - 0.

 

The CC roll call met at the Oasis bar at sailaway from Ft Lauderdale.

The weather has been great. Fair and warm.

We are in R344 and get no noise from Horizon Court.

Has anyone found my cousins, Ruth and Harold???

 

I hope you're having a great time. I cruised on the Dawn Princess a few years ago. I'd love to see her now!!!

[barbar11]

Well we're a couple of hours away from St Thomas.Cruise so far has been perfect.Food is really good,and I'm eating way too much.I'm actually finding selections for dinner in Horizon Court better than dinning room.Same menu with extra selections.I have heard some noise from floor above(horizon court)when they set up breakfast.Only a couple of times,no big deal.It just let's me know breakfast is served.Weather has been great.watch the sunburns.We did meet CC mates at Oasis first night.How's it going Lumpy?10 days for me is a lot better than 7 also.They're going to have to drag me off this ship.Future cruisers on the Dawn,no worry's.Everything is just great.Well off for now.

Barbar11, glad to hear the good reports. We have been on the Dawn 4 other times. We are doing a B2B Jan. 19 & 29, so according to your report, we won't be sorry to be spending the 20 days on it. Thanks. Any word on Princess Cay?????????

[Bluedevilump]

I just want to second everything that Mel says. The only difference - we are also on deck 12 and have yet to hear anything from above.

[barjolov]

Thanks for the wonderful news. We are excited, we are nexty (12/13). I am still trying to find out if there are good dance bands. We love the 40's and 50's and some 60's music.

Well for me a little depression setting in.Only 2 days left.For the music on board,there is some of eveything in the bars everynight.Some prices of the things you may shop for are as follows as I've found them.I didn't search around alot,but here's what I've found.Cigarettes best prices St. John-13.00,Liquor either St. Thomas or St John,both about the same.Clothes/souveners no diffence just shop.Jewelery,we'll do ours at home with Christmas sales/coupons.Again when I sail this class ship again,I'm staying anywhere on Riviera deck.Real easy to get around,and only steps away from pools and Horizon.Well back to wake Barb up to get an early start to the day.

:) Great news about the Dawn. We too will be sailing on her in April. We liked the Sea Princess, and especially the Coral Princess, way better than the Grand, so I think we're in for another real treat. Can't wait! :D Thanks for the updates. Later....Oink! :)

How were the shows? Any word on Princess Cays? Thanks for the information.
