OVERVIEW: Please note, this cruise was booked as a super last minute deal for us. And, driving this was largely a matter of convenience - (we live literally a few miles away from the Boston cruise port) and destination (we always wanted to go to Bermuda and this seemed like the way to go given how expensive everything over there is). Lastly, the itinerary was perfect; most cruises stay at a place for barely 8 hours, allowing time to do just one thing. Staying here for 3 full days was the way to go, and in my opinion, the cruise industry needs more itineraries like this.
As an FYI, our last cruise a few months back was Celebrity Silhouette. We were constantly making comparisons to this ship throughout our cruise on Dawn, and that's a bit unfair. Because of this, it was at times hard to take pictures of and around the ship... But it does help to know where Dawn falls short compared with a premium cruise liner.
This all being said, my review of Dawn needs to be evaluated against these primary criteria (destination, price, itinerary).
We were in cabin category ID room 8163. This section is right below the Spinnaker Lounge (where night club is) and all night long you can hear vibrations and noise from the party. NCL was very professional and exceeded our expectations in handling this issue when we mentioned this to them.
