Review summary
The Dawn is home to the Wine Cellars, my favorite spot on the ship! Ricardo and Diana run an excellent show in the wine bar complete with three different tastings available. I am always surprised how much I learn while attending - even though I just did this exact cruise three weeks prior. The onboard activities are so fun, complete with Canvas-By-U classes available. The crew knows you by name and because I was a solo traveler the attention I received was phenomenal. The Dawn is being replaced by the Pearl in my New Orleans port, but my heart will stay with the Dawn because of the incredible memories I created there. This is one ship that will capture your heart, book a cruise on it and regret nothing. All aboard!
