Review summary

I have been on 7 cruises before and this is the absolute worst one ever.  Please if you are thinking about going on Norwegian Dawn do your homework as I didn't because I thought maybe our friends going did already!!!  This boat is old, long, and narrow so you feel every move of it along the way.  I boat all the time, own my own and never been sea sick ever till onboard this ship.  The customer service at the desk is horrible.  The boat was with out water a couple nights when we came back to our balcony room and needed to shower and use the restroom.  There were 2 nights that the rooms and hallways smelled of bad sewage you had to leave your rooms to find fresh air.  Most of our group of 30 came down with a horrible illness and they did not care about helping us out besides going to the infirmary where 1 of our group did cost them $2100.  We will never sail with Norwegian again and neither is our whole group.  This puts a whole different picture on cruising these days as they don't care to take care of you like they used to!!!!

Spent a bunch of money and if I spent this amount on a different brand ship my room would be much nicer
