Review summary

The standard room was very small, lacking a couch and table and second set of drawers in dresser as we had in RC.  No drawers in nightstands either.  There are 4 free dining venues.  Only the 2 main dining rooms were good.  The Asian was terrible and we didn't try the bar style venue.  The food on RC is better and includes a lobster night.  The excursions were all great!, no issues there.  The shows were excellent; magician, Second City, Aerial act by couple from France, and the singers and dancers were great!

Room steward was poor; Shower Gel , handsoap and Shampoo were all empty upon our arrival.  The hand soap dispenser had a leak and emptied all over.  Room was not made up on one of the days.  Gym was good, but needs more room for weight area.

We have been on several NCL cruises, but this is going to be our first time on the Dawn. My husband always has lobster (it's generally the first night out). Perhaps you just missed it...
