After a past mediocre NCL cruise on the Sun I hadn't planned on sailing with NCL again. Events overtook me and I had a very limited time frame in which to take a New England-Canada cruise. The only other cruise available was on HAL at about $1000 more for an equivalent cabin. I prefer HAL but not $1000 per person per week more.
After my last NCL cruise, this one on the Dawn was a pleasant surprise.
I arrived at the dock in Boston and was through check-in and in my cabin in 35 minutes.
Great location deck 10 a bit forward of the center of the ship, quiet, in excellent condition. Bathroom was small (a bit smaller than veranda cabin bathrooms on other ocean ships I have been on) but very usable.
