Review summary

We had a great time! The Dawn is showing her age and is scheduled for a needed refurbishment. The staff is fantastic and that’s what makes all the difference l. Yes we missed a few ports due to strong winds. Our fantastic captain made the right decision to press on. Instead we went to Martinique nice port we just walked around and tried to stay dry.
