Review summary

We had a good time, the NCL Dawn is a good ship, I would do it again.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Security line was long, no special line for our cruse level status like we see on RCCL.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The NCL Dawn is a good, but not excellent ship. Staff was great, food was just okay, shows were fairly good. Only one small main pool, hot tub's always full. Bed was okay, room was good.

Ship Quality

Getting old, but still a good ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had a mini-sweet, good, but the bed was just so so in comfort.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Great port, nice area vs. an industrial area found in many other ports.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Had a great time at an all day beach excursion we booked.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Great time zip lining and beach.

Harvest Caye, Belize

1 out of 5
We were highly disappointed. The placed looked nice, but not like any other private cruise stop as they charged separate for everything. Our beverage pass did not work, no lunch was provided, no live band was provided, just places to spend big dollars. We will avoid cruises that stop here in the future.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
It poured all day.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We were misinformed by NCL that would could not carry our own luggage off so we wasted an hour and a half waiting for our tag to be called. Once it was, it was easy to get off.
