Romance in this case was the romance of a story, or rather the dream, a love of a ideal. The song "Waltzing Matilda" for instance romantises the Swagman lifestyle. Being a cowboy is a romantic dream. However, these dreams rarely prove to be what we think. Hollywood, for instance, is to blame for much of the misgivings on the various ideals we have on these lifestyles. Romance Dawn is called because it is the "Dawn of the One Piece Romance", and as Luffy states hundreds of chapters later, he doesn't care if the treasure is real, its the dream behind the finding of One Piece.
