Review summary

Out trip was great. We enjoyed the itinerary itself and New Orleans is a great place to cruise from. The Norwegian entertainment was outstanding (certainly above our expectations) and our stateroom was excellent (even though the Dawn feels a bit old - didn't bother us much).  Food was good - we've seen better on other Norwegian (Breakaway) and Holland America cruises, but it was as we expected given the the great pricing. Tendering was not great - we had to wait 4 hours.

if Belize is a port make sure you book excursions via the ship you will be tendered off first its a long wait if you book privately

I'm going on this cruise in December for a 7 day Christmas cruise. Is it really worth it and did you do any excursions?

Why did you have to wait 4 hours for tendering?
