Sail Date: Jan 2012
Cabin: Mid-Ship Oceanview Picture Window

Living just two hours away from Miami, we opted to hire a limousine service to transport six of us to the port. Dropped off, and on-board within a half hour.Those arriving by car face horrendous traffic congestion and expensive parking fees. If possible park off site and take a shuttle to the port. Offsite parking is around $7.00 per day, port parking is around $23.00 per day.

Nowegian's terminal makes embarkation a breeze. Lines move quickly and staff are friendly and helpful. We were on-board around 12:30pm and were told that room would not be ready before 2pm. Turned out that they were ready much earlier so we dropped off carry-on bags and found our luggage waiting for us.

We sailed the Dawn in February 2003, February 2009, and this trip in January 2012.

Cabin 4550: Port hole view. Adequate to know if it is day or night.Position of the room port side forward makes getting to it a little tricky as some elevators do not reach that part of fourth deck. If one remembers to use the mid-ship elevators and to ignore signs saying to use the fifth floor aft stairway, reaching the room is a breeze. Just bear left and follow the corridor and voila', the cabin appears.
