Good morning from the Dawn

We're having a great cruise so far! The suite perks are really nice!!! The captain made an announcement that we're heading south and may make it to Bermuda or Bahamas depending on Earl. Much better than going to Canada (no offense to Canadians)!

Will try to post more later if/when we find out where we're heading.

Good luck with Earl. We were on Dawn last week and just missed Danielle.

We really liked Matt, the cruise director. He does a great Austin Powers impression. :)

Good morning CS, and thanks for coming on and posting. Any word on the status of engine repair? Have a great cruise.

Have a wonderful time! Glad you are going south. Thanks for keeping us posted. We get on when you get off on Sunday and I'm starting to worry about Fiona. How are the seas? Is it a bumpy ride?

Isn't the Dawn great! I just got off the Dawn on August 22nd, and the crew is awesome. Enjoy :)

Have a great time!..so far so good....ENJOY!!!!!

We just got back from the meet and greet. Somebody asked about if the engine was repaired and the captain said (parapharsing here) no but we have enough horse power to do the job.

 

We're supposed to find out where we're going with the next NHC report around 11 today.

Great.. thanks for keeping us posted. Looking forward to your next report

Thank you CS for posting! We will be on the Dawn next, so appreciate your info!!

Thanks CS. Keep us posted. We'll be getting on when you get off! Smooth Sailing!

My parents are on the Dawn right now! So if you see them say Hey! :p haha

Glad you headed south....being from Canada I would much rather head SOUTH!

Enjoy! Can't wait to hear more updates.

Can you take pictures of the menus ? We will be on her from Boston to Bermuda in June.

Good luck with Earl ! Hope he treats you well as stays away !

We're headed for Bermuda!!! The most troublesome will be coming home through the storm. Will be disappointed (bold faced lie) if we get home late from our cruise!

Everything is wonderful! The staff is especially pleasant and our weather was really nice yesterday. We had no issues using our AC balcony on the front of the ship.

So glad to hear this! You can't get home late though, because that means my cruise will depart late:mad:!

Have fun! Keep us updated if you are able! Kitty

Hey! You have to bring the ship back before Sunday! It's our turn! How are the waves?? Do you feel the movement? I'm going out for ginger pills now on my way to work.

My guess is that the Dawn will leave Bermuda on time but cruise very slowly to stay behind Earl. The Dawn can leave 12 hours late and still make it back to NYC in time. The problem on the next sailing could be Fiona and her projected path closer to Bermuda.

So, does this mean the engine has been repaired?

Check post #7.;)

CS...very nice of you to post and let us know how you all are doing.

Glad I waved to you the other day after you pasted under the Verrazano and I was going over it at 5:20. Did you see me waving and taking pics??

I saw you and you looked sooooo happy.....like I will be soon.:)

Enjoy Bermuda!!! We took the Dawn there last May '09 and love Bermuda.

Wishing you beautiful weather.

Saw that but considering that was yesterday morning I thought there was more info.

It is strange that we didn't have enough power last week and had to leave a day early to make it back to New York on time yet it appears now they have plenty of power to meet the itinerary even with the engine down. I honestly hope that is the fact.

agree with what you just posted. i was on the cruise with you and share your anger and cannot stand those that comment although they do not have all the facts

if indeed they magically have enough power to ride behind the storm when did the magicians on board fix the engine

?

I know. It seems like Fiona will affect our 9/5 cruise in some way. I wonder if we will leave late anyway. The seas will still have remnants of Earl on Sunday. Yikes!

The Dawn has engine problems too? I had read that the Jewel had engine problems causing it to miss port of Corner Brook. What's wrong with the Dawn?

The Dawn blew an engine when I was on it last week. It felt like the ship hit a pothole. It left Bermuda early in order to get back to NY in time.

Yup, I remember you from the M&G. I am actually more disappointed in the handling of an NCL related problem (as opposed to an act of god) than angry over it.
