Suite Perks on Dawn

[mafig]

Since there is no Haven on Dawn, I was wondering what suite perks were available on Dawn.

 

Is breakfast/lunch available in Cagney's or Moderno?

 

How about escort off the ship?

 

Butler/Concierge services?

 

Anything I missed?

 

Thanks💗

Everything else is available except the Haven. There are butlers and a concierge, breakfast is at one of the speciality restaurants and there is also a suite lunch at a speciality restaurant (same menus as Haven ships suite breakfast and lunch). There is escort on and off the ship. There is priority boarding and tendering. 
 

There isn’t the Haven area in itself or a Haven Bar. There isn’t a Haven dinner restaurant. But really other than that you get all the perks that you’d get on a Haven ship suite.

Thanks.  I remember being in suites several years ago on the smaller ships but I wondered if things had changed.

 

 

Also, sorry for the double posts below.  I hit submit twice, I guess.  Didn't used to be able to do that.

You should have embark/debark escorts as well as priority tendering and reserved show seating.  Both butler and concierge.  Breakfast/Lunch in Cagneys.

Is the lunch available at Cagney's on embarkation day for suite guests on the Dawn?

lunch is available on embarkation day for "ALL" guests booked into a suite. we were on the gem last oct/nov. we waited about10 minutes, the butler came and got us all. he took us to the muster station, where all they did was swipe our room keys, then he took us directly to cagneys

Love the Dawn and the aft facing suites...Yes lunch at Cagney's...Breakfast at Moderno, butler and concierge available...Take advantage of your butler and ask for whatever it is you want...They treat suite guests pretty damn well on the Dawn...You will enjoy, we just got off that ship...

We are staying in a family suite on the Dawn in April. First time staying a suite. What are things to ask for from the butler? We have two kids with us as well ( 6 and 10) so any tips would be great!

cookies, m&m's, gummie bears, chocolate milk. i ask for our butler to bring a pot of coffee and hot water for tea, sweet rolls and croissants 1st thing in the morning, cheese and crackers for an afternoon snack, maybe p&j sandwiches for your kids,just about anything that is reasonable you can ask for with the butler, they can call him and get pizza

We just got off the Dawn on Sunday. We stayed in one of the Family Suites (SP) without a balcony. Embark lunch was at Cagney's. All other daily breakfasts and lunches were in Moderno. Here are the menus and a photo of the breakfast cold buffet.

Thank you for posting the menus. Looks like they made a few changes. Exciting! Can’t wait to be back on the Dawn!

Get 2 orders of the Black Tiger Shrimp! Skip the lettuce on second order!

 

BEST SHRIMP I've ever had! Cooked perfect!

For those who just got off the Dawn, did you do the pre-covid muster drill - the one where everybody met at one time at their station.  OR did you do the newest one where you watched the video and then "checked in" at your station?

[SplashOfWater]

For the Nov 27th cruise we watched the video and checked in at our muster station. Very easy.

Thanks.  Hopefully it is the same next week.  We cruise on Jan 2nd.  On our Sept. cruise it was that way but people have been posting that NCL is going to switch back to the old way, hopefully not!

Was it all mixed in with the thousand island dressing?

Generally speaking, we've usually received ours with Cocktail sauce on the lettuce.

That is how we have always received it as well. Although it does not say shrimp cocktail. So I am wondering if we can get it as a shrimp cocktail instead of the shrimp louie? 

[complawyer]

you can tell your waiter that you want cocktail sauce instead of the 1000 island dressing. i always ask for horse radish also, really spices up the shrimp.

Yes, yes, and yes! My husband always orders way too many shrimp...as a cocktail. 

Here's his 13-piece monstrosity!

 

 

I think if they ever stop allowing him to order any amount of shrimp, our days of cruising Haven will be over (only partially joking).

 

The shrimp cocktail/Shrimp Louie comes with three shrimp. Here's the first ever cocktail ordered by us after one was polished off:

 

 

Here's more of a typical order of seven shrimp which seems more rational than three or 13:
