Norwegian Dawn Cruise Reviews - Reviews

1. Pool and deck areas were very nice. 2. I didn’t like having to make a reservation for dinner in a non-speciality restaurant. 3. Chinese restaurant, Bamboo, was very good. 4. Room was awesome! Temperature of room was perfect/TV was excellent. 5. Staff was very nice and very efficient.

It was a very nice cruise for the price we paid. The production number show was spectacular. Our cabin was nicely planned out despite its small size. There was a good variety of food in the dining room nightly.

It was a relaxing, comfortable time. The cabin was great - no need to upgrade. The food was consistently good, and Patrick our Steward was very kind and attentive. The show Elements was especially entertaining.

Overall a good cruise with a horrible obstructed oceanview cabin and horrible disembarkation in Boston where everyone from the ship were trying to get into the few taxis available and no internet service at the port. Apparently UBER is blocked by the port of Boston since it could not pick up my location. It was chaos

It was a great cruise. I am so glad we went to this part of the world. It was more than I realized and we will be back. All the ports are so different from the caribbean. It was not as cold as I thought it would be. Spend the money on the excursions on this cruise as in some cases you cannot really get to the really cool sites without it. It is much harder to book off ship as well as there is not nearly as much of a market for cruise except during season. Definitely spend extra time in Quebec and get to Peggy's Cove the first time.

It was nice. Did not like the comedian. The voices of the night show singers were hard to understand. Food was fine. Did not see any whales. The weather was wonderful. Cruise director was not as good as the sun.

Food was not the best and room was very loud. Crew was not outstanding.

We will never sail on this ship again. The food was not edible

Have been loyal NCL cruisers over time, no more. Recent cruise to Bermuda re assigned to Maritime Canada!!! Other NCL ships from different ports leaving days later re routed to Bahamas and Florida. Ended up in Bar Harbor Maine, 50 miles from home. Understand safety aspect of having to re route cruises due to weather, however a Canada cruise is no substitute for a warm climate cruise. Was notified of trip change at 10AM morning of cruise traveling to Boston. No opportunity to pack warm clothes etc. Arrival at Cruise terminal and rudely told that "you're going to Canada". Conversations with staff on ship indicates that they all new 3 days in advance that they would not be returning to Bermuda. Absolutely no acknowledgement from NCL as to the inconvenience of all this. This re route was in the cards as this was to be the last trip to Bermuda for 2018 shifting to the Canada cruise for the remainder of the season. Paid more for the Bermuda cruise than the cost of NCL's scheduled Canada cruises and it didn't include Quebec City or Prince Edward Island. This cruise should have been re routed to a warm climate as others or given option to cancel. Feel like we have been robbed!!!!

The only negative thing was norweigns calling us the morning on our way to ship notifying us of the change in itineraries. Luckily I was in a group online and someone shared the news at 10pm the night before so I could repack.....there were people on ship who had no notice

Never made it to Bermuda so they sent us to Canada and Maine. They should have just canceled the ship. Selfish and shame on you NCL

This was our 3rd cruise. The 1st 2 were amazing and this was the worst time of my life. The destination DOES matter. A more suitable destination should have been chosen. We were packed for Bermuda and received notification on way to port. We had no clothes to even leave the ship. My beach vacation was taken away. I would have settled for Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard. Where is the beach in Nova Scotia? If my flight is cancelled, they just don't send us anywhere.

Boat smelled of cigarette smoke. There were very few activities in the ship. Corporate has NO concearn for customer service. Norwegian is terrible. Don’t go. Book a different line

Bermuda is amazing! The food and service was great.

Negatives: Disgusting clientele--morbidly obese people everywhere trying to get even fatter. Pools and hot tubs too disgusting to use. Smokers and polluted air in many places. Way overpriced wifi access. Tips automatically, inappropriately to bill. Entertainment geared to people with no intellectual curiosity. Positives: nice, accommodating staff. Decent food and choice.

Nice time on cruise. The food was abundant and good. Entertainment was great, especially Jose and Patti.

i recommend bidding for upgrade- we upgraded to Balcony - made a big difference in comfort and enjoyment of the cruise

Will definitely take this cruise again in the future!!

Over all a really nice getaway (if you live in Boston) and great cruise to relax - no rushing around. NCL did a good job refub'ing the ship and adding the Mexican specialty. Bermuda is nice as they don't rush the ship - very laid back but attentive. not prefect but very good. Three issues which degraded the experience: 1. The quality of the restaurants varied greatly. a. Specialty: We had excellent experiences at Moderno, Le Bistro, Los Lobos (a great addition) and the Teppanyaki house, while Cagney’s, our favorite last time, was abysmal (food was embarrassingly bad – right down to the sides). b. Main: Aqua (dinner) varied dish to dish (poor presentation, composition and taste on Cordon Bleu, good Carbonara). The Venetian lunch was very good. Bamboo (dinner) was also very good. 2. Entertainment was difficult to see. a. Stardust Theater was often over capacity for the later shows as people attending the early show remained in their seats through both performances, thus preventing access to those who came later (e.g. after dinner). We missed all but the first performance due to this issue. 3. Exchanging monies a. Guest Services would not exchange Bermudian dollars once we left Bermuda. They were willing to exchange some currencies (e.g. CDN for US, CDN for GMB) but not the country we just left. It seemed a bit self-serving. On the positive side: 1. The customer facing staff – ALL the staff – were exemplary! Very helpful and accommodating at every turn – always a smile and a “how to”, not “why not”. They are a true credit to the organization. I can only presume the issues we faced are dictated or uncontrolled by management.

We will be cruising to Bermuda again. It was very enjoyable and so easy sailing out of Boston!
