The Dawn was a fair bit smaller than our last ship, the Epic and consequently a very different experience. What the Dawn lacked in entertainment, it made up for in great ports and excursions. The food was very good, the service excellent! Our steward, Jonar, was a delight, meticulous, helpful, friendly and informative. In fact, all the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The facilities were kept very clean. The speciality dining was very good, with Los Lobos getting a big thumbs up, the Bistro very good, Cagney good but Moderno a disappointment. The complimentary dining was very good as well with the Venetian getting a huge thumbs up, Osheeans very good and the Garden Cafe pretty good, although the coffe was way too strong. My only complaint On the whole cruise, and it is really minor!! is that the deck chairs were not put out early enough. All in all, had a very good trip. Would definitely take this ship again and this cruise again!
