Days at Sea on the Dawn Princess

San Diego Embarkation Day

Day 1 was our embarkation day.  It's so nice living in a port city.  We just drove a few miles to the cruise terminal and jumped on the ship.  We were allowed to board between 1pm-3pm.  We waited until about 2, hoping there wouldn't be much of a line.  We did good, because there weren't any lines, we sailed right through everything.  Once onboard, we checked out our room and went to the buffet to get some grub.  By the time we went back to our room, our luggage was there and we unpacked.

Day 2 was a full day at sea.  The air was cool, so not many people were at the pool.  There were plenty of other things going on to keep us entertained though.  We went to the wine tasting event, which was the first real organized tasting we'd ever done.  The entertainment in the evenings was pretty decent, we were never really dissatisfied.

Days 6 and 7 were our last 2 days of the cruise and were both at sea.  We finally got to spend a day by the pool.  It was pretty crowded, but we were able to find a couple of chairs.  They had a band playing around the pool which was nice.  We also tried our hand at Bingo a couple of times, but neither of us won any money.  Lorenzo Clark was on both Fri and Sat night and he is a great comedian and magician, we enjoyed him the most.
