Norwegian Dawn Cruise Reviews - Reviews

My family and I had a great time. The food was great. You really know how to please. The entertainment was amazing. Every show was a delight and very enjoyable. Loved the comedian. He is just so good and he made us so very happy. The ship is very clean and well maintained. Very organized and everyone was very corteous and willing to help. My gratitude and best wishes to all. Hope to see you soon.

it is graet.

Although large the 2 day voyage to Bermuda can be taxing. Since there is no where to go, it seems that all 2700 passengers are at the pool for the 2 days. There are other things to do on the ship however, but something is missing and I just haven't put my finger on it...

The people on the Norwegian Dawn go out of their way to see that you are catered to. The ship was clean, there was great food and plenty of it. The entertaining was fantastic.

It is quite remarkable that so many wonderful and capacious restaurants, bars, and theaters can be arranged on a ship. The staff did an impressive job keeping it clean - so much of their work is invisible.

I was pleased with this ship based on its age. It has been very well kept and the crew on board worked hard everyday to keep that up.

The experience on the ship was wonderful and the service was great, the french restaurant Le Bistro was wonderful and I would highly recommend the cruise to anyone. The only sad aspect to the trip was the NCL workers at the port that directed you into lines, a few of them were VERY rude and made you feel like cattle, they yelled at most of the passangers to "sit down" or "stay in line and keep walking" it was very sad to see and not the best impression NCL should be leaving on their customers. Just sad to see people treat customers (or anyone) in that manner. They treated people like cattle and all they were missing was the cattle prod. The cruise itself was wonderful! Great activities, great music, wonderful shows. We booked another trip while on board, we'll just never take the boat leaving out of NY due to those NCL port agents, just an awful sight to see how they treated those people and it really casted a shadow over our trip :(

Large, clean ship with tons of amenities and things to do. Warm, helpful international staff, always willing to go the extra mile. Nice shows, good music playing at all times and the freestyle aspect of the ship was great!

When we got into our cabin, there was a major leak over the toilet. Called reception and no answer. Had to walk down and wait in line to talk with someone. Leak was fixed ASAP and we received a f/u phone call next day which I thought was good. A little difficult understanding lay out of ship. We have been on many cruises and never had such a hard time finding our way around the ship. Food was excellent in the main dining rooms! Ate at the Mexican and Italian restaurants, both good but Italian restaurant was very loud. Entertainment was fabulous. Although it rained 5 out of 7 days we had a good time and would go again.

Our family really enjoyed ourselves. We will return to NCL.

Excellent staff--especially the housekeeping department. Very relaxing time. The nightly shows were outstanding--especially the Jenn Ryan dance company--and the coffee was REALLY good.

Ship was clean

THE SHIP WAS BEAUTIFUL cABINS WELL MAINTAINED AT ALL TIMES DINING ROOMS LOVELY AND WELL STAFFED AND BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED, STAFF EXCEPTIONAL THE ONLY DRAWBACK TO THE DECOR: DUSTY PERMA PLANTS!!

I have been on 5 previous cruises this one being the first on NCL. They have two main "free resturants" in quotes because I paid for my cruise which included food. The other five resturants you have to pay for. The two main resturants have the same menu every night with the exception of the chefs special which changes daily. I have a family of four and found it terrible that I had to pay $15.00 per person $60.00 total to eat at the Bamboo which is Asian. I could have had that at home for the same price. The steak house is $25.00 a head and if you want to order a "Chefs Special there is an additional cost of another $25.00. The itailian is $10.00 per person. I will never cruise or recommend NCL. Instead of Freestyle is should be called pay to eat.

The ship was great.

I have never taken a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines before but I certainly will in the future. The Ship was immaculate, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious and the entertainment was the best.

The staff is friendly and the entertainment shows were fantastic.

This was a relaxing and comfortable experience with each person wanting to make our cruise an enjoyable one. Despite the cruise director's repeated hype (that's his job), we found many and varied things to do that produced a full week's pleasure. The ship is gorgeous and well run.

The Dawn was well designed, easy to learn and get around in, extremely clean, and comfortable.

The staff was extremely friendly, the ship was very clean. Due to illness, everyone had to be sanitized for every single meal. You were not allowed to get your own drinks or food, was became quite tiresome. The excursions were okay, I would recommend exploring on your own. Stay on the boat in Samana.
