This is our fourth cruise and our third with NCL and I must say, overall, the Dawn to Bermuda was the best cruise experience we have had. The captain and the cruise director made all the difference - entertainment was especially high quality and there was great attention to service. Because we left before Labor Day and most kids are back in school, our experience with children was better than the previous week. There were several babies and children on board, all of whom were adorable, well- behaved and appeared to be having a wonderful time. A few very talented kids even participated in karaoke, singing and dancing.

Embarkation was easy, and we went right on the ship. A suggestion: check most of your luggage and put the essentials in a backpack because you can't get into your room right away. I did not plan the distribution-of-stuff too well so we were lugging a heavy duffel bag with computer and a lot of heavy things we didn't need. Other guests had rolling luggage, which was also clumsy. But a backpack would've been perfect.

Ship design/public areas. We found the public area design to be nicer than Pride of America and Jade (hated Jade - found the colors garrish). The Aqua restaurant was very stylish and the atrium was dramatic without being gaudy. The layout seemed confusing, but since I have no sense of direction, I always get lost on ships.

Cabin Review

Perfect location near aft stairwell and Internet cafe. Enough space to walk around, decent sized balcony. Difficult to access the storage shelves inside the closet.
