Norwegian Dawn

7 Night Western Caribbean (New Orleans Roundtrip)

Sail date: February 14, 2016

Ship: Norwegian Dawn

Cabin type: Oceanview

Cabin number: 8110

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 8 years ago

Review summary

The "Dawn" is very very dated. We had cigarette burn marks in our cabin.The whole ship was tattered and shabby looking.Freestyle isn't free. You have to pay "gratuities" on all sorts of things. If you wanted an extra towel at the pool you had to sign it out with a hefty 25.00 per towel payment if you didn't return it before returning to your room. My 83/86 yr old parents toilet overflowed into their room 3 times in 7 days. They only offered a free dinner. They jammed strip tickets down your throat at every opportunity.  So so disappointed. I could go on and on.

She is going into dry dock I think in May or June. We were on in September and had a great time.

We were fortunate enough to grab an Aft balcony on this beautiful mid sized ship which gave us epic panoramic views
