iando Posted July 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Re booking dinner did you have to book each night on the day or day before? Good blog Edited July 26, 2015 by iando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm987 Posted July 26, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Re booking dinner did you have to book each night on the day or day before?Good blog We booked on the day, not sure if you can do it the day before. Once we had no booking but just walked in at 5:30pm. On the last night we could only get a booking for 8pm (even sharing), they just recommended showing up at 5:30pm and getting a cancellation, which worked. I think you have to call the reservations number, after breakfast one morning we wanted to book in person but they just gave us the phone number.

gm987 Posted August 25, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted August 25, 2015 we are booked on the new year cruise . has the buffet been refurbished and what other changes is there The buffet was not refurbished when we went. See http://www.pocruises.com.au/experience/pages/thepantry.aspx which does not actually mention the Dawn. Cannot really comment on changes as it was our first cruise.

markannab Posted September 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi We were on the cruise before you. We spent every evening in The Orient listening to Jay and Dave, the guitarists. Your cruise was their last before heading back to New York. They said they had something special for the very last night. I wonder if saw what it was. Thanks, Mark.

tsutt35 Posted December 14, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Thank you so much for sharing this information. We are doing the same cruise on Dawn in four weeks. It is our first time on P & O. I am wondering if you can tell me if I should get some local currency. I was thinking of just doing my own thing rather than ship tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any questions I will try my best to answer :-) Hello, Hope you enjoyed your cruise :) A group of us are going on one in a few weeks...can't wait!!!! We were wondering if the buffet is still on the cruise ship, or is it The Pantry? I can't seem to find a straight answer, very mixed results.

markannab Posted December 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We were on Pacific Dawn about 2.5 months ago and it was still the buffet. It hasn't been into dry dock since then, so would still be buffet at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
