Our "Crackin, crackerjack, smashing Bermuda vacation on the beautiful Norwegian Dawn" (as stated by our CD John every time he made an announcement).
This was my 5th time to Bermuda and second on the Dawn. We have cruised most of the popular cruise lines and have never had a bad cruise Did this same cruise on the Dawn in April '08 for our 30th wedding anniversary. This time we took the kids, if you can call them kids (16 and 21).
Although we enjoyed our first trip on the Dawn, this one was much improved, especially in number of available activities, quality of food, and service by the crew.
Mini suites on the Dawn are actually extended balconies. The king bed is extremely comfortable but a little short. The sofa opens to a be for two and is situated sideways so there is plenty of room to get to the balcony. Our cabin comfortable fit 4 people. Storage was adequate. The key pad for the safe had some numbers rubbed off. Balcony was nice but mettle slats in the ceiling rattled in rougher seas, AF mini suites are on deck 11. Midship cabins are under the pool area and can be noisy at night, though most noise stops by midnight. the TVs are lame old 13 inch tube models with many NCL promotional channels, national news and sports networks and a movie channel. But who really goes on a cruise to watch TV?
