Review summary

From the moment I boarded the ship, I was in relaxation mode. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of my cruise. I was so surprised when I went to the casino, put my card in the slot machine and received a Happy Birthday wish on the machine. I think it’s very nice how my birthday was acknowledged. Great time, great staff!

Cabin / Stateroom

I don’t remember our cabin number, but It was cozy and very clean.

Ship tip

If you are a techie bring an additional outlet. I took an outlet that plugged into the wall that can charge 4 devices at once. A power strip was too long the 4-way outlet is more compact.

I sailed in April on my birthday on the Norwegian Dawn. Told no one about my birthday and came back to our cabin that afternoon to the cutest two birthday cupcakes. Was so nice!

@GIL155, my birthday was acknowledged on the slot machine, there was a birthday card signed by the Captain in my cabin, I received a bottle of wine and a cake in my cabin as well. We did not request any of it, however I appreciated their thoughtfulness.

All the other folks talking of no birthday or anniversary recognition - now we know the answer - go to the casino! Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a great cruise experience.
