Review summary

We selected this ship for its departure point ( NYC ) and the itinerary. A total of 5 of the 10 nights at sea and just short stops on 4 islands. Other than St. Thomas we stayed aboard and enjoyed the many services available on the ship. Pool area is great . Quiet areas plentiful and service staff very attentive.

Was looking forward to this being my day at the beach and snorkeling. On a tip from someone I was scared away because of the threat of sand fleas to which I am allergic. Very disappointing but better safe than sorry.

Pros: The food on Norwegian Cruise Line is excellent. The cleanliness of the Norwegian Dawn is by far the best of any of our previous cruises.

Cons: Although I have enjoyed the freestyle aspect of NCL it does create a very fast paced dining experience in the main dining rooms. Rush,rush,rush.

Recommends Norwegian Dawn? Yes!
