Dawn - Live 11/27

[umpisoccer]

Hi Doug, Thank you for the great live updates. It has been awesome to follow along with your cruise. I was wondering if you could tell me if the Karioke was with a "live" band on the Dawn or just with a machine? It looked like there was a band in the background with one of your photo's. Thanks.

There was both bandaoke and karaoke last night. Appeared to be well attended.

Back in room for 10 minutes, and Sue is asleep on the balcony.

Boy, Sue really likes to sleep. But so do I on a cruise. Something about being on the ocean makes me sleepy too.

Another "tiny planet" attempt from the pool bridge on Harvest Caye. You can just make out the ship, the lighthouse, and my balding spot...

 

 

Just lounging around for now. LaCucina coming up in a few hours.

She'll kill me for posting this, but this was how she napped on the Breakaway last summer... spread out between the two deck chairs.

I was just summoned to the balcony, where I was told Gummy Bears were needed. She's awake.

 

 

Dan France has been dancing like a crazy man down on the dock for the past hour. Queen's Radio Ga-Ga playing.

I'd kill you too AND gummy bears wouldn't do............however, there are plenty of jewelry options with vibrant colors that might get you surviving this! :eek:

Thank you for the pictures and information on the "Deck 9 Lounge".

 

We've been wondering about it as our cabins are on 9.

 

And most importantly,

 

What bar is closest?

One flight down the elevators or atrium steps will bring you to O'Sheehan's - although it's on the opposite side of the atrium. So leave when you're 18 seconds away from being thirsty.

By far the most energetic, enthusiastic, outgoing, and appreciative dock line guys I've ever seen. They've been talking nonstop with passengers, calling on them by shirt color, hat, etc.

 

 

Said many, many times - "Thank you so much for coming!"

 

A sweet way to end our first visit to Harvest Caye.

Doug- Loving your live thread! It's almost like being on vacation!

 

Anyway, regarding the Dawn layout. I have some very old deck plans. The area where O'sheenans is now used to be called the Endless Summer Restaurant. I have no memory of it, so no idea what it was, maybe Tapas and Tex/Mex.

 

The Blue Lagoon was on the deck below and across from it was the Red Lion Pub. They used to have fresh popped popcorn.

 

Also, the Italian restaurant (La Trattoria) was actually part of the buffet area. There would be curtains that came down in the evening to separate it from the rest of the buffet area.

 

Just a little Dawn trivia for you.

 

Enjoy the rest of your cruising and looking forward to reading more!

Great stuff! In 2010 - the Blue Lagoon was definitely located on deck 7 where the photo gallery is now located (those big round windows). I wonder if your deck plans were after that, or if it's moved a few times.

Endless Summer was on deck 8 and Blue Lagoon was on the deck below. Deck 7, so it was always on deck 7 where the photo lab is now.

Gotcha - I was picturing it within the atrium area based on the description. Makes sense, now.
