My family and I embarked on our second cruise on the Norwegian Dawn April 16, 2006. The Lattitudes member line was much easier to wait on then the regular first time cruisers line (thank God for small favors). My back was killing me waiting for about 35 minutes to get our key card etc. Others were on line much much longer!So I really won't complain.
The Dawn is an absolutely beautiful ship, we felt much more at ease knowing the layout of the ship first hand. The Dawn had a different itinerary this time, and we thought the first shorter cruise was so nice that the second longer one would be just as nice. It just wasn't as clean this time aboard as on our last cruise.
Let me say Matt Baker was SUPERB as a cruise director and his staff excellent. They are a very talented bunch of young people! Get rid of Bollywood though.
