Hi, myself and my family will be going on the Dawn in November and are very much looking forward to it as it will be our first cruise. I was wondering if you could please advise of the cost of the Bootcamp sessions and also the cost of the Spin classes and the hours the gym and sauna are open. Kind regards, Tanya

Hi Tanya,

A friend recently returned from the Dawn brought back the newsletters you get. Some info in there about your queries. Boot camp, morning stretch, abs blaster, bums/legs/thighs,total body conditioning don’t have a price beside them, so I would assume free. Fitball ($11), Indoor cycling ($11), pathway to pilates ($11). Sorry didn’t read anywhere about hours for the gym/sauna.

Tanya – just back from the 28 Day cruise with Pacific Dawn, this was also my first cruise (loved it) and did join the bootcamp sessions. First session is free, then next 4 days are $50. These bootcamp sessions are only held on “sea days”.
Unsure of gym hours, i know there were people there very early in the morning. The gym is located level 2, mid-ship.
You’ll have a blast. Doug

Vivian – just back from 28 days. Average temp was 25 degrees, defintely hot enough to swim and sunbake. It’s the coming back which is the drag this time of year.

i am cruising on the 6th of november 2009,we are going to the pacific islands,can anybody tell me what the weather is like while cruising,im scared of getting sick,as it say’s on another website that november is hurricane season for the islands.

Hey Tom and cruisers,
Read on the net that many cruise gym classes get booked out for the cruise in the first day. Does this happen on Pacific Dawn too?? Would you advise booking our prefered classes etc when we first get on board so we do not miss out, or is it safe to book on a day to day basis ??
Thanks,
Katie

Hey Tom,
Remember Me! Haha
Anyways how is the weather on board? Cold or Hot?
What time of year is best to travel?
