This was the first vacation that my husband and I have taken alone in about 10 years that didn't involve one of my son's sporting events and we had an amazing time. The Dawn was a wonderful host and Bermuda is always beautiful! We wouldn't hesitate to do it again and have recommended it to everyone!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We arrived at the port around 1:30 pm and were on the ship and in our cabin in about 1/2 hour! Everyone was great.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had 3 night specialty dining included with our cruise so we ate at Cagney's (excellent!) La Cucina (excellent) and the Moderno Churrascaria (very good). Had dinner at Bamboo (fantastic) and also ate in both the Venetian and Aqua dining rooms and found those both to be very good and loved O'Sheehans. We really never had a bad meal. Also enjoyed not having to dress in formal wear. Husband wore khaki pants with golf shirt at night and I had summer dress or capris with summer top.
Drinks were fantastic- top shelf liquor. The Sugarcane Mojito bar makes the Best mojitos! Gatsby's also has some great bartenders.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We treated ourselves to the Thermal Spa and had use of the private hot tubs, pool, heated chairs, steam room and sauna. We enjoyed that part quite a bit especially on sea days. We also enjoyed the deck pool deck on a few days in port. Only about 50 people total around the pool on those days. Met some great people and had a great day-good sun and great drinks!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Was impressed with all the shows and performers that we saw. Loved Second City-great group of performers.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Thought everyone we encountered was great. Our room steward was fantastic.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Found everything to be clean and well maintained. If there was a problem, someone was there cleaning up. The layout was confusing in some areas. Could only access some areas from middle elevators but we figured it out eventually. Only Aft elevators brought you to the spa.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
I thought there was plenty of space in the cabin. Closet area was big enough to hold all the unnecessary clothes that we brought. We did a plastic shoe holder to hold toiletries and that worked out well. Easy to grab stuff. Spent a good amount of time on the balcony as well.
We signed up for a 9:30 departure and went down and grabbed a full breakfast in Venetian. Went back to room to grab bags and head off the ship. Very easy.
