Review summary

We went on a 14 day cruise out of Boston on NCL Dawn, Overall this was a good 1st cruise. This is not a typical or regular cruise out of Boston. Over 75 % of the cruise passengers, were repeat cruiser. There were few children on this cruise, I think around 15 in total. Most cruisers were over 50 yrs of age. We met many nice people. We hope to cruise again

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We enjoyed eating at Le Bistro on our last night. We also ate at Moderno- the beef was very tender and buffet was excellant. We often ate at the Venetian due to excellant service by one specific attendant. The buffet varied in qualities of dishes and the dished we often not very warm

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
there is really not alot of activities, most were to promote another onborad for sale product ie a skin care seminar- so to promote the spa; a seminar on watches to promote products for sale in trade winds. Bingo and Deal or no Deal games you also have to pay for cards. There were several demonstrations that we free on sea days. In evening, weather permitted was different special activites

we did the walk off. The biggest lineup was when on board told to Meet at the Aqua Restaurant for non-USA passenger. Once we finished that process, it took no time to get off the ship
