My Norwegian Dawn adventure was August 2nd through 9th. Embarkation was a breeze. We arrived at 11:15, and were on board by noon.

Staterooms: Overall, our interior staterooms were the smallest I've encountered. On the other hand, the shower was a very pleasant 2'x4'. While there were no little gifts in the bathroom, soap, shampoo and shower gel were provided. Maintenance is lacking. My safe was not working, but the problem was taken care of quickly, and by the time muster was called my valuables were safely locked away. We weren't so lucky in our other room, as the safe remained inoperable throughout the cruise. There are no bedspreads, and turndown service isn't provided unless you request it by turning a dial outside the room to the appropriate setting. Sheets and pillowcases are never changed during the trip - on the seventh night you're still sleeping on the same sheets as the first night. Some have complained about the 13" TV and lack of stations... I can't agree with this. Small TVs are still on many ships, and three news stations as well as first run movies and TNT are available.

Excursions: I can't comment on this, as with inexpensive 3 day passes for ferry and bus service available, I did not purchase any excursions. The islands are beautiful; there's plenty to do and see.
