Hi Pat,

We were on the Dawn at Christmas. The greatest cruise in the history of the world!
Don't worry about where to find everything that you asked about. They make it really easy. Reservations for restaurants can be made in the Atrium every day. They have people set up there with menus etc. I forget where we got our kids card for drinks, but it was a no brainer. Anyway, you have all day Monday at sea to discover all this stuff.
The only thing to be prepared for is that they don't go to the private island all the time. Because you get there by tender, there doesn't have to be a big storm for them to call it off, just a windy day is enough for a no go. It's got to be pretty calm to transfer you from the Dawn to the little tenders. They don't talk about this much, but if you check out the web cam every Thursday, you'll see that they miss it quite often.(like today). If they take a pass on the island, they just cruise around at sea all day. At Christmas it was the first time in 4 weeks that they had been to the island. Keep your fingers crossed, because it's the greatest day of the whole cruise.
