Norwegian Dawn

Review summary

Mostly enjoyable. Requiring a minimum number of characters is unwarranted.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Previous passengers were late leaving so we were late boarding. We had four bags, two were delivered to our door; the others to two different cabins on our deck.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Both the Aqua and Venetian had great service but the menu tried to be fancy and failed, should have tried for regular fare. The buffet was good for lunch and supper but at breakfast, things were mostly undercooked - every time.

Onboard Activities

As seniors we weren't into activities much.

Casino

It was efficient and fun. Unlike some cruise lines they were open as soon as possible.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin didn't have enough storage for an eleven day cruise. The Dawn should be limited to a Five Day cruise.

Ship tip

No more than a five day cruise on this ship.

Enjoyable 21nights and over 5000 miles. Great crew. We are in our 70s and enjoyed the more senior mix of guests. Garden cafe disappointing except breakfast.

A great vacation "Dawns"
