Lovemygreekgeek Posted June 20, 2016 #102 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Can anyone tell me the price of the thermal spa for the length of the cruise?Ours is a 9 day so I realize it may cost more then a 7 day cruise. We are on the Dawn 11/11/16 We paid $119 each for a 7 day cruise. We saved $20 off the cost by buying it online before our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other question, does it include the wet and dry sauna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemygreekgeek Posted June 20, 2016 #104 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I remember wet saunas on the Dawn, but I'm not sure about dry. As a note though, last time we were there the saunas are in the men's and women's locker rooms, unlike out in the thermal suite like on the Breakaway.

punkincc Posted June 20, 2016 #105 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Cantina on backside of garden cafe Wow! Garden Cafe was Already short on seating many times. Can you sit in the Cantina @ breakfast time with food from the buffet ?? Now I'm confused. Is the "Cantina" referred to the new Los Lobos restaurant? Did anyone else notice that the NCL letter stated it will be a la carte like Margaritaville, City Grill and Food Republic? If so, it might be used for buffet breakfast overflow, but like the others, it will likely be open with its own menu for lunch, and probably dinner as well.

j603 Posted June 20, 2016 #106 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I have to say I was kind of hooping to actually see pictures already, besides the NCL ones. I thought that the OP was going to be posting pics while on vacation, at least that was my take away from the thread. Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP said he was going to post photos once he boarded and while he was still within cellular coverage. He posted a handful of photos on PhotoBucket... http://s924.photobucket.com/user/limeyalchemist/library/Dawn2016 But I hear ya... we're all anxious to see more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted June 20, 2016 #108 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Patience. Might/might not be WiFi issues @ Dockyard, depending on whether they have data coverage in Bermuda and have data on the Dawn (probably not and/or too slow, uploading pix is bandwidth heavy) - s/he & they are enjoying their vacation today, busy on the islands/beaches, etc. as yesterday was a washout, literally ;) Ship full of passengers & CC being the minority, just a handful posting and/or successful in doing live updates while they are there ... it's all voluntary & uncompensated "work". A little appreciation of the efforts, hear hear. Perhaps, hardware issues ... things like the digital camera/smartphone/tablet fell into the pool, hot tub, etc. Anybody wanted to tweet Andy Stuart & ask his office to do more postings & updates for the Dawn, not kidding :D NCL do and will benefit from all these, even though many are booked & past the payment in full, just a matter of "I can't wait to get on soon enough" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachMartini Posted June 20, 2016 #109 Share Posted June 20, 2016 A member of a Facebook group I belong to who is currently on board said that O'Sheehan's has the same menu as the Blue Lagoon did. Was so disappointed to hear this as we were looking forward to trying some of the larger menu that the O'Sheehan's have on other ships. Especially breakfast in a new location. Maybe this is just a first run thing? I'm hoping that the menu will change before we sail at the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvrck1010 Posted June 20, 2016 #110 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The buffalo wings at O'sheehans were the best! Hoping the menu has them by August 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same menu that was on the Epic and does have breakfast, etc. It also has the chicken wings and much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachMartini Posted June 20, 2016 #112 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thanks! Hadn't checked the photo bucket in a bit. Dawn is looking great! Menu is not nearly as extensive as the Escape but the breakfast is a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Bruiser Posted June 20, 2016 #113 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Here are the rest of NCL's publicity shots, via USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/cruises/2016/06/17/norwegian-dawn-cruise-ship-makeover/86046640/ Wow, did they ever make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

bluesea777 Posted June 20, 2016 #114 Share Posted June 20, 2016 From what I've seen they did away with Lady Liberty and it kind of looks like the dolphins too but its hard to tell with the tree in that photo... Nope. Dolphins on the starboard side of Dawn, and Lady Liberty is on the other side of ship - port side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the current OSH menu on the Dawn now, it is almost the same as the one we had on the Breakaway last month ... breakfast is just about identical. Dawn has the "Chef's Salad" whereas BA only offered "Chopped Salad." BA has the lamb's pie, Philly cheesesteak & grilled Ruben / corned beef sandwiches. Overall, items available are similar but not 100% identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Liljo22 Posted June 20, 2016 #117 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Nope. Dolphins on the starboard side of Dawn, and Lady Liberty is on the other side of ship - port side. If you look at Limey's photos, the Dolphins are gone. The Dolphins were where the Norwegian Dawn name started. I included Limey's and then a stock photo of the pre dry dock.

jennyct10 Posted June 21, 2016 #120 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I am going to assume all the rooms had some type of refurbishment? We are staying in the 2 BR family suite, and last year the carpeting and beds were quite old/smelly. I am hoping this has been remedied! I remember Le Bistro as having odd and uncomfortable seating also. thanks for sharing - really appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hladygirl Posted June 21, 2016 #124 Share Posted June 21, 2016 No pics of the promenade. I am sure they did not upgrade that area with nice outdoor seating. Too bad! That was the biggest upgrade I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
