Some of the best nights sleep I've ever had were on the Dawn. Very comfy beds! Definitely better than the Sky. Yes, she is showing her age a bit.... IF you look for it. The varnish on the balcony railings of the cabins has all but come completely off (watch for splinters). But, she's going into dry-dock next year. She'll be looking brand new in no-time!

No question on CC is stupid :) Ping Pong table, yes. Mini golf and pool table, no. Shuffleboard, Basketball court, game rooms (video on deck 13 aft, board game room on deck 12 near the pool), movie theater, and of course the big pool and Kids pool (depending on your kids' ages). Awesome ship!

who replaced Pattie and Jose?
We were on the Dawn in May. They said they were filling in on the POA from the middle of June and would be returning to the Dawn mid September. They are the best.

My family was on the Dawn May 2008, there were few childern on the trip and the dress was resort casual. We just came off the Jewel July 3d, there were 840 kids on board and the dress was casual, pretty much all the time, even in the resturants at night. I do think things get less formal with that many kids around.

Yes ! And it is FANTASTIC !!! GREAT ports of call and a nice number of sea days !

The worst part was sailing out of Miami. Not a fan of Miami.

Was pianist Vladimir Krevian on board the Dawn. He usually performs in the atrium, Star bar or Venetian restaurant. If on board, any idea how long he will be on the Dawn?

 

 

Yes, he was on board. We sat him in the Star Bar and at Gatsby's.

The best drink special was in the Star Bar between 8:30 - 10:30pm was 2 for 1 martinis!

 

The spa had all different specials all week long.

 

We had teens so don't know about the younger kids, sorry!

Not sure what you want to know about the Kids Club, but we used it everyday for our 5 year old. Your 6 and 9 should be in the same group (2-5, 6-9, etc.). The club is open from 9am-10:30pm on sea days with no fee. On port days it opens from 8pm-10:30pm with no fees. While in port and from 10:30pm-1:30am everyday you can leave the kids there for $6/hr. I think there was some 'discount' for more than one kid (maybe $10 instead of 12?). The first day pick up the schedule so you can scan it for things you know your children would like to do. For example, my daughter loves when they paint faces and parade around the ship. So we made sure she was there for those two times. They do have Freestyle Free Play time periods where kids of all ages are together. You do not get a beeper, but instead write down where you will be on the ship. Any other questions, let me know.

They LOVED it and are trying to get me to take them on the EPIC next year. I can't begin to tell you how depressed they were the week after we got off that ship!

Hi GSLMOM,

 

I will be going to Bermuda on Celebrity Summit next May. How were the ships docked in Bemuda? Were they Aft to Aft, or Bow to Bow?

 

Thanks for all the information :)

 

Bow to Bow
