I just got off the Dawn today after a week. This was the best cruise I've done and this was my tenth. The ship is beautiful, the crew couldn't have been friendlier and I love freestyle sailing. The restaurants were all great with the exception of Impressions which I didn't like due to it's size. Felt too stuffed in. The cruise director, Colin is the best I've had. He is very competent and a riot.
As for parking, we parked on 10th and 49th street and saved $30. Had no problem as I left my partner across from the terminal on the corner of 48th and 12th walked to pick up the car and then picked her up. It worked really well as we were late picking up the car and they only charged $7 extra per hour.
I envy you having the cruise in front of you. My problem is booking for next year, as I'm stuck with the school calandar and the Dawn is only doing 10-11 day cruises next year and my dates don't fit. If anyone hears of a cruise for April or Feb 2006 fitting the school calandar and sailing out of a home port I can drive to from NY, please post. Thanks.
