Norwegian Dawn Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Worst part was the food. Not even Fresh Hamburgers. Cost for Hot food in the Room.

Great itinerary, but food was hit and miss, too difficult to get reservations for Venetian and Bamboo restaurants waiters were super, show great, captain introduced himself at end?

This cruise was a big disappointment. On board customer service was terrible at Guest Relations if you had a complaint or were dissatisfied. The Quebec City port was a disaster. We missed PEI and our compensation was $9 each....ridiculous.

Cruise was great. Bar tenders ignore you a lot, stand and wait far to long for acknowledgement...(that’s not good).. food so so but the ports are great.

I would cruise again on NCL but not that ship, as we have a cruise in Europe for the Holidays on the Spirit and I hope there is no issues there. You've already canceld one day off of our trip.

We love cruising even though we haven't done many. Small ships are for us, unless we are with family and kids. However, it is extremely disappointing to see how cheap the cruise lines are becoming. When a drink package that includes water is nearly $100 more a day, you aren't allowed to bring your own water aboard... even while at ports!! NO BEVERAGES ALLOWED FROM OUTSIDE, OPENED OR UNOPENED!! By the third day I was dehydrated and drinking water whenever I could find it. I refused to pay $6 for a $2 bottle of water. They are getting cheap on the dining experiences too. No more Lobster night in the main dining room. If you want lobster, there was one specialty restaurant where you could get it, the steakhouse. The same with Escargot, only at the French place. These were the fun things people don't necessarily order at home. I applaud them for reducing portion sizes, since the waste was unbelievable before. But nickle and diming beyond the cost of the cruise is something a lot of travelers can not afford. Word has it cruise lines are pondering 'resort fees' now. If that happens, I'm out.

Service and little touches seem to be scaled back little by little each year. From my last cruise two years ago, no more daily ice in the room, no more occasional towel animals on the bed. I was told by crew that additional tips added to bar and restaurant staff are retained by the company so not to bother - outrageous! Makes me a bit sad as a Latitudes Platinum.

Ship's officers and crew, maintenance, security, etc. Top notch. Service staff sublime, as always. Hotel/service Management getting worse each passing cruise. Here's a summation. If they screw something up like your airfare or your cruise credits, expect this response "Tough noogies. Buyer beware. Now go away, you're bothering us. WE'RE NOT LISTENING - Fingers in ears. Nahnahnahnahnanahnah."

I would not recommend this to anyone who has problems walking. Too many ports were tendered. Norwegian also had no consideration for its passengers when it booked outrageous times for the cheap airfare. I do not plan on using them again!

NCL failed in their pricing policy. Cruise was reduced after booking and they did not fully compensate the difference. Let the cruiser beware!

probably won't cruise on Norwegian Dawn again and won't book excursion with

Wonderfilled cruise. Wish two ports were omitted ( Surely there are better options than Sydney and La Baie) Overall GREAT time. We are Norwegian now.

This would be a great cruise to introduce someone to cruising as we often couldn't tell we were on the water due to the slow speeds from port to port, etc. NCL needs to work on their food however, nothing ever stood out in the complementary dining venues, really need to pay for specialty dining to enjoy.

The cruise was slow paced and relaxing. Special dinners dinners were really good.

NOt even going to waste my "breath" it's not worth it. Cruise was tiny, staff was not great and overall a dissapointment

If you are used to the Breakaway, you will not like this ship. I, for one, will never sail Dawn or any ship from that category. Only the shows in the theater made this trip not a complete flop

This is our third cruise on the Dawn. It is the right size ship.

We had an amazing time on the Norwegian Dawn. There were plenty of activities every day for both children and adults. The staff is super friendly and accommodating.

This was our honeymoon and we booked through using miles I had racked up for years. The whole experience was very relaxing and my wife and I enjoyed it a lot. The boat was launched in 2002, so the design is a little bit older and there are no water slides, but there is plenty of entertainment on board. We went to Cocoa Beach - swam and biked on the beach. The Great Stirrup Cay (GSC) and the underwater sculpture garden were fantastic. Since the GSC is a cruiseline private island, they serve free lunch there, which was awesome. Nassau is mostly a touristy place with lots of shopping, but you can definitely get to the beach. Overall, a great trip!

The staff and crew of the Norwegian Dawn single-handedly ruined our honeymoon. when we were able to get off on two out of the three islands, with very little time to spend, we had a wonderful time with the Islanders of Nassau, and swimming in Stirrup cay. I finished all my anxiety medication while on the trip, a day and a half early. The threats, nastiness, lack of help or understanding English at all, the lack of water or hot water throughout the entire trip I just can't say anything but tortured. Sleep deprivation & TORTURE.
