Norwegian Dawn Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a wonderful cruise at just the right time of the year. We were able to avoid any bad weather during the various excellent NCL excursions. The accommodations, staff, food, entertainment, excursions were all excellent. Highly recommended!

It was a well-maintained ship, very clean, and the crew did their best to make every guest feel special.

is is a beautiful boat. The public rooms are great. The staff is well trained, and very friendly. The ports we visited were among the best we have ever stopped over to visit. The cruise must have been a popular one, as there were signs, while we were checking in, indicating that the ship was full, no upgrades, etc. But....the cabin we were assigned was abysmal. When the room was first released to us, we couldn't figure out how to turn on the bathroom light....until we realized the bulbs were burned out. The fact that they would release a cabin that wasn't in perfect working order should have been a warning. That night, well after the ship had sailed, we laid down to sleep only to discover that the bed smelled strongly of body odor, like the men's room at the YMCA. But, we were stuck, the boat is full, and it's not like we can just go to the hotel down the street. Would that this was the worst of it....the next day we discovered the carpet pattern held a horrifying and chilling secret. There was a trail of blood. It went from the sliding door for the balcony to up the wall, a distance of a few feet. The blood had been tried to be steam cleaned, it seemed, but the cleansing had failed. I took pictures just in case....I cannot for the life of me come up with a good explanation for why NCL would think it would be okay to let this cabin be used, except for money....empty cabin equals no money. I'm sure the thinking you have is, \"why would these people stay in that cabin?\" Well, it's simple, we paid quite a bit of our yearly income to get to Boston, take the cruise, stay in Quebec City overnight, rent a car, and fly home from Montreal, all nonrefundable. To leave the boat would have cost us much more.

The cruise was great, very nice staff,food was great, the only thing that went wrong is that we were supposed to received free on board spendings from and we didnt so im not too happy with right now!!!

It was a very well organized cruise.

It looked very old and outdated.

Okay except for the main auditorium seating

Overall was a good cruise

We liked every aspect of the ship, but my girlfriend always had to ask for peanut butter at the buffet, for breakfast; it didn't seem always available. I think it would be relevant to have containers for recyclables ( mainly paper, that we accumulate during the cruise, and we have to throw it out at the end. )

Nice ship.

The Ship was beautiful.

Overall the cruise was an enjoyable experience.

This was the second time we sailed on this ship. Last year we sailed on this same ship to Bermuda. We love Norwegian's \"Free Style\" cruising. You can eat when you want and everything is casual. If you want to go formal then you can, and if you don't you don't have to. Lots of flexibility. Love it, love it, love it!

we have taken many cruises an this was not up to any of them . The staff was excellant. The entire aspects of the ship were poor. Nothing that would make you want to get back on. At times it was a joke. Not a good time at all.

Ship was clean but needs upgrading. Seats in show room need some work.

A smaller ship compaired to the mega ship and more persomalbe.

Nice ship quite crowded , very limited menu in Venetian restaurant and unchanging . Almost seems like they encourange you to dine in the specialty restaurants at extra expense . I miss the interaction of multipe people at a table, now it seems like couples, which there are many, only dine alone

This ship is a little worn but still in very good and clean shape.

It was nice overall

relaxing clean crew helpful activities food
