Norwegian Dawn, Boston to Bermuda 7/1/16 – 7/8/16 (3rd sailing post major million dollar refurbishment)
This is a very lengthy review – so here is the short and sweet summary. I would not recommend this cruise to 90% of the people out there. If you are a smoker, live in New England and cannot fly for one reason or another AND you find an incredible deal – then and only then, would I suggest ...
First of all my party of six had a great time as the staff were great, My complaint is not with them but with NCL and here are the reasons. My wife and I are Gold members and always get a suite for ourselves and our two children who were traveling with their fiances, The cost of the three suites(9000,9002,9005) was in excess of $20.000.00 and included free beverages, free wifi, free excursions, ...
I just got off the Dawn, Boston to Bermuda and my 14 year old and I had an incredible trip. Our aft-balcony room was so comfortable and Myla kept it immaculate! The views were amazing. Sunsets and sunrises made me smile. I even got to see the America's Cup 12 meter sail boats practicing from my beautiful perch! Truly everyone on board went 100% at all times to make our trip enjoyable. The food, ...
I went on this cruise to Bermuda with two friends. This was our 3rd cruise on the Dawn. On the positive side, the ship has recently been renovated and looks really good. Embarkation was smooth and efficient. Our inside cabin was small as we expected but was clean and comfortable with a good amount of storage for a small space. Our cabin steward, who told us to call him "S" was very attentive and ...
I've sailed on 5 Carnival cruises so far and my 6th will be this August. This is my 1st with Norwegian and this was the Dawn's 2nd cruise after it's 2016 renovation in May/June. This cruise will be compared to Carnival. In my opinion, I actually liked it a lot. I'm not sure what they changed during the renovations but I do know that our cabin mattresses were not new. I guess they only ...
Hi, I know others have already talked about the newly refurbished Dawn. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of work that went into this and we liked the new look to the public areas and restaurants. In some places we compared the new look to that we have seen on Celebrity ships. Aqua looked pretty hip, while the Venetian looked good we were a bit puzzled by the artwork. We loved the new ...
2nd spring trip from Boston to Bermuda in so many years. This run has been well reviewed so I'll only add this:
1) Ship was in great shape after dry dock and felt clean and fresh
2) Addition of the wine bar was welcome. With the Ultimate Drink Package offers, there could be a frustrating wait for bar service. We never waited at the wine bar (which, btw is a full bar). Kind of a secret.
3) ...
This was very first cruise ever. I planned this family vacation to celebrate my Husband and I's 20th anniversary, Fathers Day and my sons acceptance to College in the Fall. We were very excited to be on our first cruise together hoping for many more. Much to my disappointment I could not wait to get off the ship from the first day. It started at the baggage check in. They had no manifest to assist ...
We Left from Boston,no airport involved.Our boarding time was 10:30,however computers were down we boarded 12:30. The Departure date was changed from June 10 th. to 17th. The ship was not ready. We had a balcony 10652 which was nice. Food was fine crew members were awesome but the ship was not ready. Toilets didn't work some days, and the elevators weren't working properly. It Took at least 25 ...
I have been on 3 other Norwegian cruises in the past and figured this one would be better after hearing it would be newly renovated. But by time it sailed the renovations weren't even finished. This boat was nowhere near ready or at the level of expectation of an almost new ship. The air conditioner and toilet in the stateroom was broken most of the week. The maintenance crew came to fix the ...
