Review summary

The Dawn was a pleasant ship, although dated in some areas and in need of some cosmetic maintenance.  The buffet was not good,  Best eats are at O Sheehans, but the main dining room wasn't bad.  The staff was delightful.  Rode segways in Cozumel - great fun worth every penny.  Toured animal sanctuary in Roatan, loved it.  Harvest Caye (norwegian's private island) is so named in order that they may "harvest" more of your traveling dollars.  Costa Maya was unpleasant.  off the ship into a tourist shopping center where you are inundated by local vendors, some of which were exceedingly rude.  Days at sea were perfect.  Walkoff disembarkation was a mess.  Disorganized, long lines,  people cutting in from everywhere.  On board "extra" charges were excessive.  Felt I was being nickle and dimed to death.  Overall, just OK  Think I will stick with Princess.

Cabin / Stateroom

Good location; no extra noise. Shiny wood still had fingerprints on it, but other than that was clean and kept that way by the room steward. Closet was large but needs a light in there so you can see. Drawer space limited but adequate. Only found one 110 outlet that was operational, but still very satisfied with this cabin. Bed was good.

Ship tip

Plan more for shipboard expenses than you usually do.
