Review summary
I was, admittedly, scared to death to get on a cruise ship but decided to face my fear and go on my very first EVER real vacation. WOW, I am so glad I did. What an amazing, amazing time. The Dawn has been recently updated and fully renovated and it came out beautifully. The entire staff were wonderfully polite and friendly and very hard working. The Captain was highly charming during his announcements. There was plenty of onboard activities to satisfy just about anything you might want to do. The best part was the comradery I came upon up on the 12th deck where the pool is located. They had live bands playing all day and most of the evening and the bands were really entertaining. Made loads of new friends onboard. I just cannot say enough good things about my entire experience. I honestly cannot pick a favorite time because it was all just fantastic. The rooms are a lot larger than they appear when you're checking them out online. There was plenty of storage space and closet areas for clothing for two of us. The food everywhere was amazing, I ate better and healthier onboard than I do at home.
Just cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. My ONLY complaints are:
1. dang, the elderly women riding their carts around were so danged mean and nasty for some reason. One tried to run me over, three were really complaining about having to walk behind us during boarding. I guess they were missing Bingo? But this has nothing to do with the staff or ship itself.
2. I really think they need to just STOP allowing anyone under the age of 21-years-old to drink whatsoever. The rules were 18-21 years old could drink WINE or BEER with parental consent. That was not happening, they were drinking quite a lot of hard liquor and of course, a good many of them got out of hand. 4 girls were 'arrested' on board for just being out of control and causing a ruckus, as well as trying to steal signs from around the ship. NCL might really want to crack down on underage drinking aboard for everyone's safety and enjoyment.
I cannot wait to go on another cruise!

Ship tip
BRING your own refillable plastic tumbler, I didn't and bought one at the onboard shop and it was the best purchase I made. Especially in the morning when I need more coffee than normal people. Ha!
