This was my first cruise on NCL. All past cruises have been on RC or Celebrity. I took this cruise because of its destination (Bermuda) which I had never been to as well as its departure city Boston (which meant I did not have the added expense of airfare. After reading MANY of the negative reviews from the Dawn's recent winter itineraries, I was beginning to think I made a major mistake in booking this cruise line / ship.

I knew going into this trip that I was not going to have the same experience I had on the RC mega ships or the luxury found on the Celebrity Solstice class ships. I understood that the NCL Dawn was a smaller, older ship so I was under no illusion that I was going to experience the same kind of cruise.

That being said, I was very surprised to find the staff overall to be very friendly and helpful. Restaurant staff was cordial, remembered our party of 3 from previous meals (the food staff rotate between dining rooms for Breakfast and lunch but work the same dining room for dinner throughout the cruise. Water was always topped off, bread and butter was always replaced and overall the staff was attentive.
