Review summary

There wasn't much to do on the ship. The cruise director was boring and didn't know what fun is. My room was vacuumed once in the 7 days we were on the boat. The windows and mirrors never got wiped down toilet had stains. One stop they have to put you on a little boat to get to shore took an hour to wait for an open boat. Then they separated our group so we waited another 45 min in port for the rest of the group on the next boat. Got ripped off at the spa signed up for a Spa Topia package it was $139 I got charged $230. The lady was late by 15 min and didn't even do the whole package only the hot stone part. Not worth it at all! On top of that the spa manager Sunshine was rude telling me it was my fault I didn't get the whole treatment. To top everything off my bag was stolen on board and the security could careless.

Leave the port area to the other beach via taxi just as nice and way cheaper. They charge $4 for a soda in port.

I've been on 20+ cruises and have always had a wonderful time..some were better than others, but you are on vacation! I love being away from chores and work, and just relaxing. Lighten up and enjoy yourself!

Just got off the Dawn today. I had no money for the spa or the specialty restaurants or for anything and had the time of my life. Met lots of great people and found plenty of things to do. As for the vacuuming?!? Who cares! You must be very pampered to care about something so trivial. Some people just live to complain!

What port did you have to use the tender to get on shore? I am taking the Dawn in a few weeks.
