Review summary

Read above. You don't need 150 characters..I will not cruise on such a big ship again. Too impersonal. And crowded in the narrow halls. You charge extra for so many things.

You charge for bottles of water for room. You charge $8 for a bottle of beer. That is excessive.

The Dawn is not A big ship; in fact it is small. It's important to do research regarding ship size, passenger capacity, etc.

Lol. this cruiser needs to book a river cruise. No nickel and dime. Great personal service. but it's a 5k price. probably booked a cheap inside room with zero promos. went to ncl.com and found what he thought was a great deal. needs a TA next cruise.

Yes, that is funny! This is far from being considered a big ship anymore.

Lol. dawn is now considered a small ship. What extras are you getting charged for. unless you got the very cheapest cabin, NCL gives you free at sea promos. if you did any research, the price difference can be less than a hundred more for some great promos. the UBP alone is worth 400.00. if you don't drink the 3 specialty dinning is worth the 100.00 extra. i guess irs a learning experience. too bad you didn't come to shipmates before the booking.
