I came back from Bermuda which I go to every year as I love Bermuda more than any other caribbean island. The Dawn was the worse ship I ever been on peroid. About 7 years ago I went on it and wasent so bad. Still my favorite is Celebrity Cruise Line.

Not one, let me say again NOT one staff said hello to me or helped me out with my parents who are disabled and use walkers through out the ship and Dad who also uses a wheel chair. Could not even help me with their plates up in the buffet or drinks like coffee or cold drinks. They stopped serving shrinp in the dinning rooms for supper as a starter, so if you like your shrimp cocktail you will not get it. NO more lobster, or Baked Alaska.... just to name a few favorites. Food was not good at all. Cold, and not much to pick from up in the buffet. I have never been one a ship where you dont get a hello, or have a nice day from your cabin stewards etc. The only good thing I can say is the shows were excellent! I got 2 bottles of wine because of my complaining about things I should have gotten but did not. I will never go on this ship again and most of all it was more than Celebrity or Holland America which are both wonderful cruise lines with wonderful food.I can go on and on about all that was wrong but dont want to write a book here. The ship was dirty, people in my family got sick a few different times. Just horrible. If you are a new cruiser than you will not find any problems cause you know any better but for people like me, never again. I only went back on this ship cause my parents won it at Foxwoods but it would not have been my choice at all. NO ONE ent out of their way for anything. Oh and the bingo last to days they say you will win 4000 or 5000. No way....... it was only 1000. So they lied to all the bingo players.People were pissed off all right. No one cares about their job on this ship and it sure showed. NCL you have gone down hill, never again. They have some of the smallest cabins, also get this my brother booked 4 in a cabin cause they had the promo going on, 3 & 4 in a cabin go free just pay sales tax, well they have NO 2 uppers . They only have 1 upper and 3 lowers thats right, on the whole ship and in rooms to hold 4 in a cabin theirs a small cot they take out that hides under one of the lowers. so if you like sleeping like 3 in a queeh size go right ahead. The Dawn and Spirit both are set up like this so beware!!!!!!!! so why dont NCL tell you this ahead of time my brother and family almost walked off the ship the day of departure. Not only that. but their bottom bed looked like someone was sleeping on the top sheets, and had a big yellow stain on it which was disgusting, when he asked the cabin steward about this he didnt know what to say. 3 people had to come in and show him how to make up a bed. All in all I can go on and on. Dont waste your money if you have cruised many times before, you will NOT be happy. First time cruising is ok. I had a mud slide frozen drink, $10.78 plus the 18% guartuity was added on to that and i seen the bartender use a one small shot glass and put all three liquaiors in it talk about cheap all it tasted like was cold ice milk.

small cabins. They dont rechange sheets at all during the cruise. My room was on the side of the generators which I was not aware of and it was so loud in my room like a tank was running day and night terrible!
