My wife, teenage children, and I took the Dawn, Boston to Bermuda, for our family vacation 8-3 to 8-10-2012. We have been on the NCL Majesty (twice), Spirit (twice), Dawn (three times), Dream, Pearl, and Gem. This was our third time on this ship, our 10th NCL, and our 17th cruise.
Embarkation: We have been to Black Falcon before and being from the area it was no problem to get to the pier. I dropped off my family and the bags and parked the car in the garage. The weekly fee for parking the car here was 112.00. The pier has been renovated. We now need to go to the second floor for check in.
Check-in was easy and soon we we were meeting the concierge, Karabi, getting our room keys and waiting for the announcement for the escort to board the Norwegian Dawn.
Family Suite 12016
Great room, 4 closets, lots of storage space. Murphy Bed, pull out couch, and a King size bed. Large bathroom with double sinks, tub, and separate shower.
Lavazza coffee machine. Wall of windows, floor to ceiling extending the whole length of the suite. Cabin got hot at times when the sun was directly shining through the windows. I could hear the moving of chairs from up above every morning but others slept through it.
