Sail Date: Jul 2015
Cabin: Aft-Facing Mini-Suite with Balcony

I sailed on the Norwegian Dawn in 2005, and swore that I would never sail with them again!

I am a culinary school graduate and a Hospitality Professional and I was deeply dissapointed in the food. The only saving grace was Cagney's Steakhouse, which was out of this world. The buffet was a diaster, and as a food service professional I was deeply offended by some of the options that were offered at that time. I sent a letter to the CEO, and Executive Chef and detailed my observations. This was before trip advisor, so my only option was snail mail. Of course, I never recieved a response from anyone.

So fast forward 10 years to our sailing on 7/11(our 16th cruise) I did not feel like flying to Miami or Fort Lauderdale,so we decided to give Norwegian another try because sailing out of New York was stree free. We were booked into a mini-suite, which was fantastic! Our steward was wonderful and just an all around great guy...Thanks Eugene!

A little worn around the edges.

What is up with the television...cheap and small. I have a better flat screen in my kitchen!
