If you're anything like me, and seeing as you're reading my review right now, I bet you are...you want to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck when you book a vacation. It's why websites such as this and the hundreds similar exist. Let's face it; we're interested to hear what others have to say before we experience it ourselves. Well, this may be a bit long, but read on about my enjoyable, fun, disgusting and somewhat disappointing trip on the Norwegian Dawn...

Embarkation: This was a breeze. Norwegian couldn't have handled this any better. We arrived at the Port of Miami, checked our bags with a porter and went inside.
