[AH090206]

My Dawn review (from our January 5th sailing) posted today if you're interested in reading...it's a bit long, but I tried to be thorough and fair :-)

Thank you for the review and sorry to hear about the lousy weather. What do you wish that you brought for clothing (I.e. rain coat, sweatshirts, etc.). We are taking the same cruise in Feb.

We all had jackets (mine was just a thin hoodie and the boys had fleece ones) and we definitely used them, especially on the Belize tender boat ride. At the last minute, I decided to wear jeans to board, and I packed one pair- I was glad to have two pairs! They did sell ponchos as we were exiting the ship in Roatan and Belize, but a little one would be easy to pack. It mostly drizzled when we were at port and we were inside the ship during the real rain, so we didn't need much rain gear.

Big help. Thank you. We have cruised this itinerary before and didn't pack much warm clothing leaving our coats back in Connecticut. We will follow your lead "just in case" :)

We knew from the weather forecasts that we'd get rain, but didn't realize the temperatures would be as cool. Always better safe than sorry, I suppose!

I really enjoyed your detailed review. I'm excited to check out the Dawn soon!

Thank you for your review! We're doing this same trip February 9th and I'm PRAYING that we have good weather! It really does make or break the trip.

We leave the 23rd of Feb and from what I've read the weather has been pretty dismal lately. I hope the tide turns soon! I'd really like to have a nice beach day or two!

 

And finding things to do on a ship when the weather is bad is difficult in my opinion!

 

Glad you had a good time despite some setbacks.

Great review. We leave on the same itinerary next Sunday and am glad to hear embarkation/debarkation seems to be fixed. Can you tell me what pier you docked at in Roatan? We have a private tour and are hoping for Punta Langosta so no taxi rides needed. Thanks.

 

Never mind I as thinking of Cozumel for the Bar Hop.
