Sail Date: May 2009
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

The week before my cruise left,  someone came on this board ranting about how bad the Dawn was, with no supporting facts. I am not saying the ship is terrible, but it is lacking. I am not a really picky traveler- But I am very observant, and really get peeved when the basics are missed.

A little background, my husband and I love to travel. We are 38/43 y/o and have no children. We take at least 3 vacations a year, with at least one being a cruise or all inclusive to someplace warm. We are native New Yorkers.

NCL Dawn: This is a ship that was built for Free Style Cruising. I have free styled before on the NCL Sea in 2001, but that ship was not built for Free Style. This was my 5th Cruise .  We sailed from NY to Bermuda for 7 days starting on May 17th 2009.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Mid ship which was nice during rough seas. People smoking on other balconies got a bit tiresome, wind would blow all the smoke in our room (we faced the ocean when docked) Right near good elevators and interenet cafe (if youre planning on using it) Hidden shelves in closet are useful. Room has 4 life perservers taking up one of the shelves I so desperately needed. Extra pillow was filthy.Only one plug in whole room.. out of the way.Have to time the rechargers pretty well. (Camera/ Video Camera) Smaller than balconies I am use to on Carnival.
