Review summary

To start with, on our first morning there our bathroom flooded up through the bottom of the shower and the drain on the floor. water came up and flooded our entire room. for 3 days we had a blower in our room trying to dry the carpet. The room smelled from it all week long. I have a head cold from that... and Saturday our last day at Sea before we came home I ended up getting food poisoning needless to say I spent from 8 o'clock Saturday night until Monday morning at 4 a.m. throwing up and diarrhea. When I called to ask for medical help they told me it would cost me $200 to see the doctor and I would have to pay for any medicines that the doctor gives me. I don't think I will be going back on a Norwegian Cruise anytime soon. It was my first time on there and it was not very enjoyable.

Food and Dining

Most of the food was really good, but they really need to watch the eggs at The Omelette station that's where I think I got food poisoning from

Service and Staff

Our room service housekeeper guy Steven was absolutely amazing he did everything he could to keep us comfortable when our room flooded. I never seen anybody else come down and talk to me about the room or come down and take care of the room at all

They should have shampooed the carpets after that happened and then put the blower in the room the room would have smelled much better

On the Dawn right now in the middle of a 12 night cruise. Having a blast. 4th time sailing on the Dawn. We love it.

did they give you any credit or refund due to the water in your room for three days?

Plumbing issues can happen anywhere anytime on land or at sea. They have medical on board but no where does it say free medical care. Just like a hospital, payment is expected for rendered services. Don't see your issue.

Wow, I've been on Dawn twice and both times were wonderful, sorry you had such a bad experience, so far she is our favorite NCL ship.

All ships charge for on board doctors this is why you buy travel insurance so in an event that you need one you are covered.

All ships charge outrageous prices to see doctor.
