Review summary

my biggest gripe was the embarkation, we paid alot of money to have priority and was told that there was no priority. so don't waste your money, thinking you can bypass the lines because in Amsterdam you just can't.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Was told in amsterdam that they do not honor priority embarkation. We were booked in a suite and waited over 2.5 hours to get on

Liverpool, England

5 out of 5
Beatle heaven. we booked online tickets and save a ton of money. everything it within walking distance. don't use the cruise excursions.

Dun Laoghaire (Dublin), Ireland

3 out of 5
we bookded the hop on off tour, be aware that the bus only takes you abk to the cruise at a certain time, otherwise you need to pay for your own transportation back to the ship and it can be costly

Portland (Weymouth), England, UK

5 out of 5
nothing to see at the port. you must either get on the city bus or book a ship sponsored tour.

Southampton (London), England

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
disembarkation was a breese, no issues at all

I have never heard of paying for priority boarding in over 24 cruises with NCL. The only priority boarding on The Dawn would be for Suites.
