Cabin: Family Suite with Balcony

My wife and I recently did the 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean on NCL Dawn from New Orleans. We were part of a group of 300 on the cruise and had been able to upgrade to a large Family Suite with Balcony for a very low price.

Due to being part of a group, we arrived at the port of New Orleans late. Nontheless, we quickly checked in and were escorted to the VIP waiting area for Suites. In this area we met the Suite Concierge and had available coffee, juices, snacks, etc. After waiting about 15 minutes we were given a personal escort to our cabin on the 12th deck. The muster drill was about to start, so this was very helpful, but in the future, if we had a Suite we would probably just find it ourselves to save the time.

One small negative for us, but perhaps a positive for others, was that the muster was the shortest we had experienced on any cruise line. The elevators didn't stop running, and after demonstrating how to don a life vest we were told the drill was over! Minimal....

Cabin Review

Family Suite with Balcony

Cabin SD

It was great! Large cabin, large balcony, large bathroom (2 sinks) with tub and great shower. We really liked the built in coffee machine. One nit was that a couple of the closets are not deep enough for a regular hangar. We had a great steward who worked hard, and provided towel animals every night. Another nit was that the bed was a bit firm for my liking.
