This will be sort of a quick and dirty of our experience on the Norwegian Dawn.

About us: we were first time cruisers who were gifted a trip to Bermuda by my mother-in-law. In total, we were 9 family members spread out over three cabins. My MIL and FIL had a balcony. My husband, 2 kids (aged 3 and 1) and I had one oceanview obstructed cabin, as did my sister-in-law, her husband and her youngest daughter (aged 9).

All of my inlaws have cruised with NCL before, and they were disappointed by some elements of the cruise. My brother-in-law described it as sailing with the B-team. We were none the wiser. They still enjoy NCL for the price point and the Freestyle dining.

Cabin Review

I really did enjoy our stateroom. I liked the decor with the turquoise doors and colourful carpet. We had more than enough storage for all of our crap and although it was cozy to have all 4 of us in there it was really nice. I think my son was actually upset to be put in his own room upon our return. I also really liked our location on the 8th deck. Obviously it is not our bed at home but for the most part I had no problems falling asleep. Some of the duvets being used were a little worn but that didn't skeeve me out (just told me that they had been thoroughly washed). As a lady who has a little extra weight the doors to enter the bathroom and the shower were a tight fit, and they reminded me of travelling in a motorhome when I was a kid, albeit with nicer decor.
