Just off the Dawn today. Men (including my hubby) were turned away....

Good Morning from Rhode Island. It is a chilly 17 this morning, and I am so ready for a cruise :D My husband sister and I just booked the Dawn repo New Orleans to Boston.

We are all seasoned cruisers, but this will be out first on NCL. What can you tell me about the Dawn? I have read several reviews, but would love to hear from you !

Best restaurants?

Where to hang out?

Are there any places on deck in the shade?

How are the shows?

Is there an adults only area?

Quite area for reading,watching the water?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I was on the Sunshine Journey cruise Feb 21.. On our last 2 sea days we saw whales several times. Quite exciting. They were a distance from the ship, but could easily see them breaching. 22 cruises and this was a first for me

Yes, there is Moscato. I do not remember what kind, but it was yummy!

regular menus were on the tv last month.

My sister and I were on the Conquest last month. Room 1216. The only noise we had was one night. When waves hit the bow of the ship, there was a loud bang.Did not happen often. I just put in my ear plugs and kept on sleeping.

This room was a port hole room. We got it for the same price as an inside. If I had the chance I would book it again.

Hope this helps

2 Days!!! Conquest here I come!!

What time are you scheduled to leave today?

I am Celiac and have been for 25 years. As everyone has already said, see the maitre'd the day you board. I will be going on my 20th Carnival cruise in September. It makes no difference if you have ATD or assigned seating. You will still place your order the night before. When you are seated you give your room number and tell them you have a pre ordered meal... after 2 or three nights the hostess will remember..

He will be fine with his shorts and sneakers most nights. Like others have said long pants and a nice shirt for elegant night will do.

Carnival has relaxed the dinning room dress code a lot. You will see a majority of people in shorts and tees. The only time I have seen anyone refused to be seated was on elegant night. ( men in shorts)

Enjoy your cruise.:)

27 days till the Pride!!

I would be interested in the same information. Going on my first Princess in August. I have cruised Carnival 17x so I am not a "cruise virgin" lol. Lookinf forward to a new ship, shows, and all things Princess.

Does anyone know if there are gluten free cookies?

Yes there is..

I am leaving next month on the Freedom. Booked the Miracle Panama canal transit as soon as it was out. I also have the Freedom booked for 2014~!

Thanks for taking the time to write up such a detailed spa review, it is something I have been wondering about.

 

Nice to read that single passes are available.

 

Do they offer tours of the spa prior to purchase?

 

Great review looking forward to more.

There are tours of the Spa on the day you board. They try to get you to sign up for classes and treatments, then. You always have the to option buy at anytime on the cruise.

More, More, More...

I leave in 25 days...!!!!:)
