This was our 10th cruise, and my 4th one with NCL. I found the Dawn clean and the staff were very attentive to our needs. All of the staff from the Captain, his Senior Staff and down were very friendly and would always address you with a pleasant greeting. I liked the fact that the Captain and his Senior Staff , were highly visible and were happy to talk with passengers and pose for pictures.

My wife and I booked a lower oceanview cabin and found that this "oceanview" was actually a small porthole instead of the usual picture window, which was disappointing. The bathroom in our cabin was partitioned into 3 areas and unless you were a very petite person, you were going to have problems fitting into the toilet section. The shower area, however was beautifully large. The cabin itself was attractive and had abundant storage. Our cabin stewards were excellent, the cabins were well maintained and we were greeted each night with a wonderful towel animal and a mint on our pillow.

We ate in three of the specialty restaurants and found the food and service in La Trattoria (Italian) and Salsa (TexMex)were top of the line. We also tried the Sushi Bar where they had all you can eat Sushi for $10.00. The service was great, but the selection was poor in the all you can eat, so several of us opted to go Ala Carte. This was a little more money, but a better choice for anyone who is a true sushi/sashimi lover. The main restaurants (Venetian, Impressions and Aqua) were beautiful, but you should note the following: the portions were miniscule and I had to order two or three main dishes to make a decent meal. Over all, the fare in the regular restaurants was nothing to write home about. In fact, the night they served lobster, it was a disaster. It was overcooked, rubbery and covered in a tastless sauce, it was totally inedible.
