Norwegian Dawn Review

Additional details
Embarkation was extremely easy! We arrived at 11:30 am, drove in to the garage, and the luggage was taken from us there. No long check-in, we were onboard within 30 minutes. We checked our carry-ons at Dazzles Lounge, and we were off to the main dining room for lunch. The cabin was ready at 1pm and the luggage was already there. The $210.00 fee upfront for parking is excessive but that's my only complaint. Debarkation was equally smooth and quick!It was fun meeting my fellow Rats, and being able to put a person to a name!
The Dawn is large, but its design gives one the feeling of cozy, comfortable areas. The only time you feel its size is when you have to walk the seemingly endless cabin corridors. The crew from top down is A1, courteous, helpful, pleasant and accommodating. 2 complaints here: no one enforces the dining room "no t-shirt and shorts rule" Why say it then? No one enforces the no items on lounge chairs "in case a friend shows" rule either.
Kudos to all otherwise!
Cabin Review
Family Inside
We had an inside cabin, fully wheelchair accessible. Largest w/c cabin I've ever been in; great turning radius. Well done but needed more shelves in the bathroom. There actually was hot water in the bathroom not just lukewarm! Twin beds and full-size pullout bed in couch - and still room for turning! Except for shelves, and a bump in the floor near the bathroom door, the cabin was perfect. The bed, however, was a torture rack. It was both very hard while sagging at the same time!? They kept bringing me foam toppers until I felt like the Princess and the Pea, and still it was very uncomfortable. I've never experienced this to such a degree before! They seem to be low on linens, and despite repeated requests, we didn't get a laundry bag until mid-week.
