Just got off Dawn from a 9 day New Year’s sailing from New Orleans. This was my seventh NCL cruise having sailed Epic, Getaway and Jade twice each before this cruise.
Embarkation/Disembarkation
Check in went smoothly on the pier and we were on the ship by noon. Cabins were ready by 1 pm. We were back in New Orleans quite early and the ship was alongside the terminal by 3 am. Part of this was due to rough conditions in the Gulf of Mexico so the Captain made for the sheltered waters of the Mississippi as quickly as possible. We walked off with our bags without issue, breezed through customs and were at the airport for 8:30 am.
Nice mid ship balcony. Good sized shower in the bathroom. Lots of storage. Close to mid ship stairs and atrium area.
Love New Orleans. Great dining and great live music along Frenchmen's Street.
Paradise Beach is a good beach club in Cozumel. Clean, safe and nice facilities.
