The new Pandora shop officially opened on the Pacific Dawn at 11am. Big crowds for a teeny tiny shop. I did end up buying something for Miss 16 but later on in the cruise after I'd checked out the prices on land. The prices were a couple of dollars cheaper on the ship, not super duper bargains but I was happy with that. At least it meant I had a Christmas present sorted. Of course the charm I bought was a ship!
So far we've only had meals from the Plantation Buffet but I've enjoyed everything and when timed right the queues were minimum. In generally the hot food section of the buffet was always the busiest. For lunch the sandwiches, rolls and wraps were at the very start of the buffet followed by salads and then the rolls, this is where I generally went. Their wraps etc were always lovely and fresh.
Not much has changed on the Dawn since our last cruise on her in 2011 - I guess the main difference is the addition on the Zipline which goes across the Lido deck. They've also added other out door activities (extra charge) including a rock wall, segway track and a trapeze circuit - they seemed to be quite expensive but the zip line was quite popular and fun to watch while relaxing on the Lido.
Like all of our previous cruises we did find the drink service a bit hit and miss - generally when we were wanting a drink there were no waiters around. Dad became our official waiter.
