Review summary

We enjoyed our trip and enjoyed the boat.  It just seems that the quality has dropped since we last cruised the Dawn in 2014.  The thing that impressed us most on the 2014 cruise was the dress standards for the dining room.  

Shorts were not seen at all.  Baseball caps were never seen.  And they had a 2 formal nights,  This cruise did not have any! 

We found the bar service to be slow to non existent at times around the pool. They start picking up the deck chairs and stop bar service too early around the pool.  By 6:00, you are going down a deck to get drinks.  Then you are wet. 

 

We found all the staff to be very pleasant and helpful.  Our bar server was the best.  He would make sure and check on us before they stopped serving. I can't remember how to spell his name. Soloma Sinhj from India. 

 

Our steward for our cabin was wonderful.  No complaints. 

 

We will cruise Norwegian again because we placed our deposit.
