Review summary

This was our third time on the Dawn. We really enjoy the ship and the staff. They are the most friendly and helpful people I have ever encountered on a cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
As a suite guest we were met and escorted on the ship. Could not have been better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining was good, buffet was very crowded

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool, Karaoke, game shows, crafts

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The comedian was the worst performer I have ever encountered. Not funny, made fun of disabled veterens. People walked out. It was the talk of the ship for days.

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our steward was very good. Our butler was below par for our other trips on the Dawn. We just did not see much of him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and we love the size of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Penthouse suite. Nice amount of room. Aft facing with large balcony. We were in the same room on our last trip on the Dawn

Ship tip

Look for the fish on the carpet design. Go with them forward and against them going aft.

5 out of 5
I have always wanted to visit this port. I found it to be underwhelming. Nothing special

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
I love Cayman. We took a taxi to the East End and did sightseeing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Could not have been better. Priority given to suite guests. Got a few dirty looks from others as we went to the front of the line.
