That’s good to hear! We just booked our first cruise and it’s on the Dawn. We were worried about the age of the ship but it seems to have been updated nicely.

I love the Dawn, we are going to miss her in Boston, really hope the Gem will be as nice, going in May, if it isn't the NCL cruise #17 will be the last
