As an 8 time NCL customer - we were delighted with the one week cruse to Bermuda. From Boston - it was an smooth check-in and finding our cabin ready to be occupied was a plus at 1:30 in the afternoon. NCL likes to have many of its sailers arrive early, but we arrived between 1-1:30 and it was a smooth process - with little delay.
We enjoyed the size of the Dawn - approx. 2600 passengers, as we have been on the Epic and Gem - with 5-6000 passengers and it can be somewhat crowded. We also liked the overall set up of the ship making it easy to get around and find the important sites to be visited.
Nightly shows were very good. We are not fans of the magician family, but the other areas were well done. We especially liked the Patti/Jose tribute to Neil Diamond - they were very good.
All was fine - no special frills for an inside cabin. If you need to see the outside world from your room at night - book a balcony!!!
