Norwegian Dawn Reviews

Overall a great experience ..Captain martin was our hero getting us around 2 tropical depressions!! specialty dining package a little disappointing ... other than cagneys ... main dining rooms which are included are just as good if not better ... ! The teenagers in our group didnt have many activities to get involved in ... the pool was very small and always over crowded .. it seems the staff is under appreciated so bring $$$$ to give them a tip!!! Next time we go there taking a bus in bermuda seems like a better deal than the tours ... so all in all it was a great experience !!!

As a New England resident Boston was a great port with excellent parking, and dock passenger flow and staff attitude.

Other than the complete disaster getting off the cruise is great. I was on the same week three years ago, and the changes have been great.

Drink package is a rip-off. There is only one bar on the whole ship to get specialty martinis (and other drinks) and they will cost $4 extra on top of you drink package and they will be served by the slowest and rudest bar and wait staff of any of the three cruise lines I've been on. The rest of the bars will only serve drinks just above well-level drinks. Hands down the worst service and staff I have ever experienced in almost 100 nights at sea. Also the worst food (both complimentary and specialty) of any cruise line I've been on. Apparently seasoning and flavor is too expensive. Prepare to be disappointed if you have been on Royal Caribbean or even Carnival. Also, when trying to book, don't call NCL directly, their operators will lie about room availability, pricing, and will be very high pressure. Book through , best prices, friendlies sales team, great communication. I will definately book through again.

Overall the cruise did not live up to my expectations. I was looking forward to sailing out of Boston, my local port to save on airfare, etc., however, I ended up spending more and getting less in comparison to other cruises I have taken. I found the ship's size to be just right - easy to get around and quick to get to my room and back if I forgot or needed something. I found the age of the ship to be a negative, as it creaked in the night and kept me awake, public areas needed a deep cleaning (furniture stained, bathrooms not working at 100%, and not as clean as I would have liked). Entertainment was good, as there was always something going on. I wish that I was able to spend more time poolside, however it was a very small area and overrun by teens at times (there was really nothing for them to do during the day, as the Entourage teen club did not open until late night). Food was a disappointment as well. I will likely stick with RCCL on future cruises.

WOW!!! WHAT A WASTE OF OVER $4200.00 TERRIBLE FOOD, SERVICE, A/C IN CABIN WASN'T WORKING VERY GOOD, REQUESTED SERVICE FOR IT BUT DIDN'T HAPPEN. GOT ESCORTED OUT OF THE SPA FOR NOT HAVING BOUGHT THE SPA PACKAGE, ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS LOOK AROUND IT TO SEE IF I WAS INTERESTED IN GETTING A MASSAGE. MUSIC WAS LIKE I WAS BACK IN THE 90'S WITH HEAD BANGING & SCREAMING. NO ISLAND MUSIC ON TOP DECK. NEVER AGAIN WILL I CRUISE ON NCL!!!!!!!!!!!

Relaxing trip with the sea days and no Island hopping

Bermuda is a wonderful island. Clean, safe and the people are very nice.

Very pleased with the food and excellent service. The pool area is way too small. The rooms were also very small.

Finally was able to check-off a ''Bucket List'' item with a visit to Bermuda. Norwegian Dawn was a great way to accomplish this long desired destination. Bermuda lived up to reports as being clean and friendly. Downtown was not congested and choked with automobiles The city appeared to be a safe environment. Overall: An enjoyable experience!

The room was horrible. We were unneath the kitchen, banging from 4am to 12am. Being pregnant this was not idle.

This is not the best cruise with people of limited mobility because you are out at sea for too long and we hit rough seas. We did have a super excursion in Bermuda-- Wild West kayaking.

This was my 7th time on this cruise and over the years I have seen it go downhill. I will be looking into another cruise line for my next trip.

Cruise was very relaxing and waitstaff and bartenders were amazing. However there needs to be straws for frozen drinks and more clocks on the boat!!!

My husband and I Completely wasted 1400$ on a drink package and only had one alcoholic drink a day! Wish I had that money back! I could of booked another cruise with that!

This was our 7th cruise and Bermuda is our favorite island by far. We swam at beautiful Horseshoe Beach. We also did a complete Bermuda shore excursion bought through Cruises. com. This is a 4.5 hour tour which every participant enjoyed. Our tour person, Wayne, was excellent. Brought my Boston Globe from the morning of the cruise and never had time to read it since there was so much to do.

we had a wonderful, fun vacation two of my friends who had never cruised before were in awe!

Service was friendly/ Everything went smooth. Food was fantastic. Drinks are delish. Nothing bad to say expect are steward. She was rude. Never really seen her. Didn't do things in the room that she should have. Rolled her eyes to people. Just kinda had a bad attitude. But I don't let that ruin my vacation. Was overall A Fantastic Trip.

I had the est time with my family. We are planning another cruise next July. I would only cruise on NCL

The crew was so nice and polite. The trail bike excursion was great. The weather had some bumpy nights but that's the Atlantic Ocean for you. Excellent food & beverages. Rooms were cleaned promptly and our cabin person was the nicest person. The entertainment was top notch. Bermuda was beautiful. No complaints with any of it. At the end of the cruise, leaving the ship was a problem. It took an hour to get off carrying our own luggage because they had the line twisted around the ship. There were very few areas roped off so line-cutting was the name of the game. They kept making announcements that the passengers were not following. Those that did not listen seemed to get off the fastest. It was controlled chaos leaving the ship on the final day. It should be better controlled. I saw an elderly couple who thought they'd only have a few 1,000 feet to go to get off the ship with their luggage and it turned out to be many times that hauling that heavy luggage. We were forward of the ship, had to go all the way forward, then all the way aft, then halfway forward again to get off (that was without cutting the line).
