Caribbean - Southern Cruise Reviews

This was a great cruise. The ABC Islands are beautiful!

We had another fantastic HAL cruise. The service was fantastic as usual and the food was delicious!

This is a nice relaxing voyage that I take every year.

Ship and crew were very good, but they all wanted to up sell you at restaurant's, bars, photos, casino , wifi and shops. The new big ships really don't visit the old cities. The islands have built new docks away from the old cities filled with gift shops and bars. You need a taxi or bus to get to most of the cities.

Please see above for my brief overview of the cruise.

This was our third time on the Dawn. We really enjoy the ship and the staff. They are the most friendly and helpful people I have ever encountered on a cruise.

It was an interesting trip, that allowed us to see three new ports. The staff was excellent, attentive without being overbearing, and actually good with humor. The food was more that plentiful, and we experienced some of the specialty restaurants that we had not before. with varying degrees of success. The ship is older, and smaller than many of today's versions, but still enjoyed getting to experience many of the crew and passengers.

My only concern is the absence of assistance for mobility challenged people that had to wait in line for hours. Is there a plan B? I understand the extraordinary circumstances, but I do not understand the lack of assistance or communication on the part of NCL. It was a good thing that it wasn't raining. I also would appreciate the vaccination protocol being re-established in order to sail.

We did not expect this cruise to be this enjoyable but it far exceeded our expectations.

Overall cruise was okay, not the best we have been on. NCL’s extremely poor communications on embarkation delays left a sour taste in a lot of peoples mouth. I even called NCL during the delay and the contact denied there was any delay. There own people did not know either.

Wonderful itinerary loved the ports and the locals!

I love Norwegian but I do not think I would sail on this ship again. The lack of daily activities made sea days very boring. I was on another small ship but it surpassed this ship with activities.

The ship had lots of activities and you could do all or nothing. The ports had lots of do on your own opportunities. The food was good and the room are comfortable. I would do this itinerary again.

Even though I got Covid on the ship I had a relaxing vacation. Had I not been to all the port stops in the past I would have been upset not being able to see them. I can’t say enough good things about the staff. They were wonderful to me.

It was a great cruise. We loved the ports of call, the ship, the cabin and the entertainment. Jamie's Italian was excellent. My only hiccup was that I needed the WiFi to attend some meetings for work, and it didn't work in our cabin. Trying to find a place where I could connect and have privacy was difficult. I wasn't able to get much done, so I wasn't happy about that. All the ports were fun. We walked through Old San Juan, and in St. Maarten we took a tour of the island. In Antigua we went on a beach excursion and then went shopping. Our St. Lucia tour took us to Marigot Bay, which was lovely. Our last port, St. Kitts & Nevis, gave us an opportunity for a final beach trip to Carambola Beach Club. Truly wonderful vacation! So glad I went.

We loved our cruise. There was something for all of my family to do. The food was great. The staff was amazing. Thank you Carnival for an incredible vacation.

We are planning another excursion hopefully Norwegian upgrades somewhat

Without the professional help of our assistant Leema Yow, whom we use always for any travel that we do. She is always one to assist us and guide us through the possible snags to avoid, along with answering any questions. with so much ease, we Love dealing with her always. Asset to the team.

RC was good overall, but needs to be more generous with water, and soft drinks. Improve drastically on their evening entertainment and more diverse. Karaoke and games are not most people's Forte. More music sesessions for the rest of none white customers. New Years cruise should be way better. Not even a cheap champion offered to toast the event.
