Norwegian Dawn Review

Additional details
It was a nice older ship, with obvious signs of age. Loose bolts, several coats of paint, etc.
The ship has wifi all over but we found we could only effectively use it in open areas like restaurants and the deck. If you don't confirm your log out, say goodbye to your minutes! No wireless phones like Disney has. The NCL app does not work on this ship, so you are stuck with paper copies of itineraries and no way to reach other guests.
Not especially suited for kids but they liked it. No water slides, mini golf, rock climbing, etc. But they have a dinosaur zone area (with about 5 or 6 chairs for the 10-20 watching parents) and a small reserved area in the buffet with little chairs and the food kids eat like nuggets, burgers, fries, cookies. The splash academy was very accommodating and our kids liked to go. They did a Circus theme show on the last day.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
It has an ancient fridge, ancient phone, only one American outlet, thermostats that look like 1972 calling. The bath tub was a plus for the kids. TV had three news channels and two entertainment, and a few for ship info. There is a fridge, coffee maker, safe, and a curtain to separate the sofa bed side from the bed/bath side. The balcony is nice and I liked the sliding glass door to it, with child lock. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable as a sofa and was really weathered. Our room steward was good but they seemed to disregard the "make room" and "turn down room" signs and worked at his own pace. Room service and restaurant reservations never answered the phone.
