The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.
It is the morning of July 4th, and I just got back from my first family cruise on the Norwegian Dawn. Hurricane Arthur loomed behind us, spinning wildly in our wake. Luckily, neither Arthur's deadly winds or the violent flushing of my stateroom toilet could engulf me before I safely arrived in Boston.
A week earlier, I first boarded the Dawn with my wife, my 22-year-old daughter, my 24-year-old son, his girlfriend, and a couple I have been friends with for many years now. We booked three rooms on the 11th floor. My wife and I booked a mini-suite, to allow for extra room for our daughter to stay. Our friends booked a Balcony room down the hall, and our son booked an inside stateroom with his girlfriend.
Great location,close to elavators and stairs,and less rocking motion during choppy seas,also quick to pool.
