Norwegian Dawn Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Family of four (2 grown boys) traveled on the Dawn for a holiday family get together. We have cruised previously with RCL, Princess, Carnival, Celebrity, and Windstar.
Embarkation: drove to pier at 12:20 PM. Dropped bags with porter and attempted to use a discount parking lot 4 blocks away. Drove in and drove out. One guy trying to direct vehicles and collect money. Also, lot was small gravel area with not enough room for maneuvering SUV's or pickups and not covered.(It would have been $66). Drove back 4 blocks to ship and parked in covered 4 story garage with ample space between vehicles for $105. Walk to ship was 5 minutes. Lines were long and slow but we were onboard at 1:30 PM. We went straight to lunch in the Venetian. It was empty and service and food was good.
Cabin: mini suite for us was huge. No balcony so there was way more space than necessary and more storage than necessary. Floor to ceiling windows the width of cabin. Bathroom was very large.
Cabin Review
Family Suite
Inside cabin 10207 was tiny and lacking in storage, seating and desk space.
Mini suite 12532 on the other hand was wonderful Too much empty area with more storage than necessary for two people. Good location on deck 12 but tended to be noisy. Every morning very early the crew slides deck chairs above the room. Also, the corridor is a cut through to the pool a garden buffet.
