Sail Date: Dec 2013

Over all, our entire cruise was good. Let me explain that my wife and I are from the upper Midwest and we are in our early/mid 30’s. This is our 5th cruise with NCL and we have only cruised NCL.

The day before the cruise we received phone calls from NCL advising not to show up to the terminal until after 1pm due to the size of it being smaller and there maybe limited seating. This was no problem for us, as our flight would land in Tampa at 1pm. A mechanical delay had our flight landing at a little after 3pm and by the time we got our luggage and taxi to the terminal we were pushing the 3:45 time. We arrived in the terminal to find it locked, but there was staff on hand to unlock the door and help get us our key cards and checked in. We were on the Dawn a little before 4pm and they had started the muster drill. We found our spot and saw the drill.

We got the up-sell call a week before we sailed and went from an inside room to a balcony room on deck 10 forward (10018). The room was like any other cabin and compared to inside rooms it did offer some more room that we normally get (we have only had inside rooms before). We walked around for a while and thought it was odd that the ship remained tied up and not sailing on time. We hit the buffet for a light snack and again walked around just checking things out. We went to the guest service desk about my wife’s food allergy (gluten) and they directed us to the main dinning room to meet with the Maitre D’. We met with him after a short delay that he apologized for… it was obvious they were busy. He sent his assistant over who took a pre-order for my wife for the next night. We walked around the ship as it left port and then headed to bed, as we were tired.

Cabin Review

Over all very nice. Forward on the ship, very easy walk from the stairs. Quiet
