Norwegian Dawn Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Although the ship was a little outdated (but it going through a dry-dock in May 2016), this cruise was by far one of the best cruises I have been on and this was my 6th (3 on Carnival, 2 on Norwegian, 1 on Royal Caribbean). Really appreciate that I don't have to pack extra "dress-up" clothes - we want to be comfortable on our vacation! Love the flexibility of "freestyle dining" - but you may have a wait if you eat at "prime time".
Cruise Director staff - Some of the best people you will ever meet in your life! They really care how your vacation is going and are only there to make your relaxation time as fun as possible.
Ship in general: The pool deck was a little small but still very fun. The ship is very clean and not too big or too small. We really enjoyed the Spinnaker Lounge - lots of fun activities are held there throughout the day. Try your hand at the dance classes - it is fun to learn or just watch!
Cabin Review
Family Suite with Balcony
We were in the family suite with a balcony (deck 12) and it was beautiful! Our butler and steward were amazing and very friendly! We had all three beds out (King size, Murphy bed and sofa bed) and still had plenty of room!
The room was very spacious and had a large balcony that fits two lounge chairs and two additional chairs and a table. FYI the balcony for this room is NOT covered - great for tanning on your own balcony - but might be a problem if the weather is bad. I was initially worried when I discovered it was not covered, but actually enjoyed the open balcony and the sunshine!
Loved the bathroom. Bath tub and spacious separate shower. Double sink and lots of storage. Very nice fixtures - would like to move that bathroom to my own house.
The only downside was the room was near the pool deck/elevators and got a little noisy at night
