Crissy699 Posted May 18, 2011 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2011 We're on the first run out next Friday, we've been anxiously checking the shipcam each day! :D I've also been trying to find another webcam in the port, to perhaps get another view of the ship, but no such luck yet! I did find some neat webcam views on this site: http://www.cruisecal.com/portal/Webcams/tabid/2557/Default.aspx I'm hoping another ship will pull in and we'll be able to see the Dawn on their shipcam, but who knows if that will happen! We'll be posting a detailed review with pics when we return, friday the 3rd. I'll try to post some quick details that AM when we dock, so the folks getting ON right after us might be able to benefit from any tips or info I might have :) Looking forward to a sparkly and fresh ship, especially the new flat screen TV's! Hoping that they install the option to check your bill on the TV, save some paper and instant gratification! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Old Bob Posted May 18, 2011 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Several comments: The Dawn webcam view is now clear of the scaffolding that went up on the foredeck when she first went into Freeport, and on several occasions the Dawn has been visible from the Sky's webcam when the Sky has been in Freeport. The Dawn is far enough distant that it was not possible to tell what was going on. SOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husney Posted May 21, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks everyone. Look forward to hearing from those that are going before us as to the new upgrades and to what they think of her. We are getting really excited only 19 days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuninWB Posted May 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2011 There is a different picture from the webcam than there was this morning. Looks as if she's now in the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patch62 Posted May 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted May 21, 2011 We are waiting for her!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausetms Posted May 21, 2011 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2011 There is a different picture from the webcam than there was this morning. Looks as if she's now in the water! I agree. At 2:00 PM she was facing in one direction, in 4:00 she was facing another. You can see the lines securing her to the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted May 22, 2011 #11 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I remember waiting last year for news of the Star and how the renovations were going. The Dawn is getting the same kind of work done that the Star had last year. Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OttawaJohn Posted May 22, 2011 #12 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm looking forward to the reviews from the cruisers on the next trip, curious to the extent of the changes, if it's just like the Star or did they do more/less, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew mom Posted May 22, 2011 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2011 She was supposed to leave Freeport at noon today to head north to Boston. Looks like she is moving according to schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuninWB Posted May 22, 2011 #14 Share Posted May 22, 2011 At 3:25 PM DST, she's still in Freeport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted May 22, 2011 #15 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I don't think she'd be leaving this early for Boston. Freeport to Boston doesn't take 5 days with the speed the Dawn can get. She is definitely back in the water though and the scaffolding is gone so that is a good sign that things are well on their way. The engine must be in place and the hole in the side of the ship repaired. :) We can only wait for intial reports from other folks sailing on Friday as to what other things may have been done. So exciting to see the re-birth of a cruise ship... may be sailing on her in January 2012. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridaythe13th Posted May 23, 2011 #19 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The Dawn will be spanking clean but remember the construction of the new cabins on deck 12 will continue for months.

Cubechick Posted May 23, 2011 #20 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Where will the new cabins be and will they be doing this as the ship is sailing? The new cabins will be on deck 12 forward, where Spinnakers currently is (was). Yes, they will continue construction while sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiftyguy Posted May 23, 2011 #24 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I understand that the new suites aren't ready yet, but I'm assuming the other changes happened before they left drydock - such as spinnaker move to aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyguyva Posted May 23, 2011 #25 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Considering a Penthouse Suite on Deck 10 for the 8/12 sailing to Bermuda from Boston. Wondering if the construction on Deck 12 will still be in process by then? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
