Review summary

I was one the Dawn for my second time. I didn’t really have a chance to review it before as I didn’t have anything to compare it to. So here is my full review I had a mini suite on the 11 deck last time and it was more spacious than the aft balcony I had now room 9738 back of the ship. My room size is decent but smaller than the other Aft rooms In passing that I seen as the others are suites on either side. It can sleep 3 people but that’s pushing it if you like space. It’s 1 queen converts to 2 smaller twins and a fold out twin couch. The bath room is super tiny. There is a partition between the sink and the toilet that can close however it is a tight squeeze so if you are on the bigger side then I would not recommend it. I am on the bigger side and I had a tough time using it. ( please no fat jokes) There is a normal stand up size shower and one outlet for a shaver only in the bathroom. There is a hair dryer but it’s outside the bathroom in the small vanity area. There is plenty of closet space that comes with hangers. The balcony is also decent size there is a small table just below the tv. The Dawn provides lots of activities so it all depends on what you like to do. We did the following restaurants Cagneys- meat was delicious I had the prime rib and it melted like butter. My friend had the filet mignon. The sides were standard sides you can get in any restaurant on the Dawn and desert I had was the raspberry crème brûlée which was light and tasty. The service was good also. Los Lobos- don’t waste your food package on it. It’s À la cart and prices are affordable. The table side made guacamole was delicious the chips were bland no salt or lime on them but with the guacamole it was ok. The beef empanadas were so damn good I should of ordered just a few of those for dinner and been happy. Service took forever and the drinks were ok but over all not the hype people given it. Teppanyaki- this place was so good we did 2 nights there. They made a garlic fried rice and it was out of this world. I had beef filet mignon and chicken combo. Deserts were a green tea cake and or fruits I didn’t like the cake but everything else was great including service. Venetian- one of The main dining room’s had standard food selections and different options every night however it’s the same food that you might get from the garden café it’s just you don’t have to serve yourself. Garden Cafe this was standard buffet food with many options and different themed nights. O’Sheehan’s- I tried the sweet chili chicken wings amazing open faced turkey cheeseburger we’re all really made well french fries were standard buffet french fries. The Mojito bar also known as the sugarcane bar is a hidden gem. It is located inside the Moderno Brazilian restaurant and the Mojitos were out of those world. I would of never found it if we were not on a mission to find it. If you don’t have the unlimited beverage package and you want to try the different mojitos try the mojito flight. It’s 6 different ones. But if You do have the unlimited package you’re better off just going down the list and try each one because the Mojito flight is $19.95 and not included in the package. There is no need to dress up at any of the mentioned restaurant as I didn’t went in with a tank top and shorts most days and had no issue. If you like to dress up then go for it. Shows were good and if you like to dance and hear music the Bliss lounge at night is where it’s at. It was usually open until like 3am. Over all great trip and will cruise NCL again.
