Senior Ladies Cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

Took this cruise because I had purchased a future cruise certificate. We couldn't turn down the all-inclusive dining package. I wish I knew that four senior adults would be have trouble with the small spaces to move about. The bathroom was small and the tub was too high, where we had to have a stool to get in. The couch pulled out to be a floor bed, which makes it hard to get up mornings. We ...

This was my first cruise on Norwegian but my 12th cruise. I have cruised with Princess, Celebrity, Royal Carribean and Cunard. I liked the idea of freestyle so I decided to give it a try. Well embarkation was disorganized and slow. The daily activities were limited but the night performances were awesome. The food was terrible not many choices. The complimentary dinning included selections were ...

This was our second year in a row traveling on the Dawn during Thanksgiving week, and overall we had a really great time! Embarkation in New Orleans went smoothly. We had completed our on-line boarding documents early, so were able to get a 9:30 port arrival time. It was definitely better getting to the port earlier, and we were on board by noon. Room: We (2 adults, 2 kids) were in a ...

This was about my 7th cruise on NCL but first on their smallest ships. The Cabin (11506) and housekeeping staff was excellent. The Food service was very good. The operating crew was timely and informative. Then I asked about a few benefits as a Latitude member (Gold) and was quite disappointed. First day out I requested a ship pin for this ship. I was told they had run out just the cruise ...

After 7 cruises on NCL beginning with the Norway in 1999, no more NCL for us until some policies are reversed. We felt more nickel and dimed than ever. First you can no longer bring your own bottled water on board. I can't tolerate the tap water on the ship as it makes me feel ill and the cost of on board bottled water is ridiculous. This amounts to extortion. Also once on board I was ...

We chose thisnitinerary as it had ports of call we hadn't visited before and a departure port which was also a new city for us. The port at New Orleans is right in the city, no long transfers from hotels, and just 39 minutes from Louis Armstring Internaltional airport. The NCL Dawn has just been refitted and is modern and well equipped throughout. It has all the usual features but is now bang ...

Opening Day at Harvest Caye and etc.

We chose this cruise because it added Harvest Caye and Grand Cayman to the usual round-up for Western Caribbean ports. To those of you eager for news about Harvest Caye: the small island is beautiful--with lush landscaping and a huge pool with everything you would want--a swim-up bar, a "walk-in" side, an automatic chair to lift the handicapped in and out, fountains and underwater bench/ledges ...

Embarkation and Debarkation went very well. Cruise Critic Meet and Greet was fun and informative. Cabin was smaller than on other ships but comfortable. Our room steward was just ok. No fun animals...just one that she made out of our pool towel and kept laying on the bed. She was sweet though. Main dining room was standard ship fare and decent. Specialty restaurants Los Lobos was ...

This was our third trip with NCL and it was a great experience. We've also sailed on the Jewel and Pearl. The staff was extremely friendy and helpful. Everyone always said hello and seemed to enjoy interacting with the crusiers. Our cabin steward was good. He always had the cabin cleaned in a timely manner and was very outgoing. Our three year old daughter loved chatting with him and the ...
