Review summary

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Over 4 hours bus trip with no stops, water, or food. Very long.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was never hot. The service was spotty at best. The hostesses were surly.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The entertainment was very loud. This was because they were BAD. All of the venues.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The only2 people that qualify for this good rating was the captain and our cabin steward. The captain tried to keep us out of the storms coming up the east coast and he succeded. Our cabin steward took care of us in every way he could to help us and make the trip enjoyable.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

The ship is old! The atrium is designed like a chimney. The loud and awful music was drawn upward and played to all decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

If it wasn't for the long shoreman the disembarkation would have been unbearable. The pier is a disaster.

That's sad for you...Been on the Dawn and loved it! Also sad that you barely didn't like anything and most of the ports of call... Québec City and New York are 2 great and wonderful places to visit! Maybe cruising is not for you...

Cruises aren't for everyone. I've been on the Dawn twice & had a wonderful time each trip

I’m going on the Encore for free 😂. I’ll go on any cruise for free. Maybe you should try another ship.

Care to share why? We've done NCL the last 2 years including Dawn and had no issues.
