I would do it again with Norwegian Dawn. I did not do excursion. I took a taxi for the tour the first day I was there. It is cheaper to take taxi or bus there.. book through cruise ship is much more expensive. If I have to book for the tour through the cruise ship, it would be $99 a person. I took a taxi (4 people) and paid $200 for the private tour. There are taxi as soon as you get out the ship. You can walk a bit further, you find more taxi and buses there. I took taxi right off the ship exit, did not try to walk down so I am not sure if the fee would be cheaper there. I would think so.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Good. Boarding fast. For those who don't know. You can drop off your luggage's at the port as soon as you get there. Guys come around with the cart; just let them carry yours or drop them off where the metal carts are
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food is above OK. I think that is very good for cruise. There are 3 compliment dining restaurants. I am not sure with Bamboo, I only went there once, but the other 2 Venetian and Aqua, both have 2 menus, one of them change daily. I go dinner at these restaurants a lunch mostly at the buffet sometime in burger bars. I did not have to buy dining package as the complimentary restaurants change their menu daily.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
There are many activities on the ship, you will get the schedules a night before. I join whatever I see when I walk around, but I do see the shows in the StarDust theater every night. Pool is always crowded; I cannot ever get the seat close to the pool which I did not mind. I g further on the back for piece of quiet and relax.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
don't miss any shows in stardust theater. they do have great shows. Musics/DJ are great. They are at the pool and atrium most of the time.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Workers work very hard to keep it clean. Most of them are very friendly. Thanks to Gemil Samporna to have the room clean and all the good talks.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Over all, the ship is clean and well maintenance
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
ocean view state room. I think it is a good size room. The only downside is I smell urine once in a while close to the toilet. Everything is clean. I think the smell comes from the waste of all people in the ship.
