Norwegian Dawn May 17, 2013 Boston to Bermuda Jade Suite, 11020 Cast of Characters: Me, 50ish woman 6th cruise to Bermuda, 1st on the Dawn Boyfriend, around the same age, 1st cruise Dad, 76 year old, parkinsons and a touch of dementia, cruised before, 1st cruise to Bermuda Daughter and friend, two 19 year old women, both cruised before We live 15 miles south of Boston so we had a driver pick us up at 10 am. We were at the Black Falcon Terminal by 10:30, long line of traffic, there were still people being picked up from the prior cruise. We looked like FBI agents in our HUGE black Cadillac SUV. Driver dropped us off, within 5 minutes a porter came and grabbed our luggage (including a wheelie cooler that we had stocked with diet coke, coke and bottled water). Dad uses a walker, so we went to the handicapped line where we waited for a crew member to bring us onboard with a wheelchair, that took about 40 minutes.  did a lot of people watching (checking out our fellow cruisers). Once King came (he was the crew member with the wheelchair) we were off and running, zipped us through all the lines and check in. Then he took us to the Suite area where they served us coffee and sweets..Then he took us up and showed us our suite.  VERY IMPRESSIVE the JADE Suite, 11020. Absolutely beautiful..Then he brought us to Cagneys where we had our lunch!! Bye Bye King.Never saw him again, he was very nice.

Our family suite with balcony was very roomy, even for 5 of us and a walker. We ate most breakfasts at Cagneys. If not Cagneys, then it was the garden buffet. One dinner at the Venetian, two at aqua, then the rest of the time we ate in the suite or Blue Lagoon (not too impressed with Blue Lagoon), or buffet, I thought the buffet was great for a buffet!! Had pizza delivered to the cabin one night, it was very good and worth the $5 charge. Flor, our butler, was great, any wishes were granted and Virginia, our concierge was so nice and helpful. Our cabin steward (dont know his name) was the hardest working man on the ship!!

We LOVED Tim Kaminsky, the comedian I think we saw all his shows but one. Second City was a let down after him, not funny at all. Not So Newlywed Show, funny as usual. Dont think we went to any other shows  Loved playing Deal or No Deal, even though we didnt win The girls played bingo one night (again no winners here) Did well in the casino, Blackjack and slots, came out a bit ahead!! My dad even played one day when the table was empty. (he just needed a little help telling the dealer what he wanted) Read more
