Annual Bermuda cruise in October to celebrate our anniversary (6th cruise) from the port of Boston. Our favorite cruise due to the ease of travel to/from Boston. Bus from Portland Maine to South Station then subway to port. Embarkation went well until the security checkpoint, it was a real bottleneck. Once on aboard all went well. The NCL Dawn is a very nice ship, especially since it's renovations in 2016. The Officers and crew are all very friendly and helpful. Can't speak for the meals in the main dining rooms, but I can say the the meals from La Cucina (calamari app and veal marsala) and Cagney's (oysters app and NY sirloin strip) were outstanding !! The buffet had a large assortment of food to cater to everybody and is a great opportunity to try different foods. Plenty of activities onboard and the entertainment was very good, especially the magician. For the first time in 20+ cruises the casino was not in a smog of cigarette smoke.... how refreshing !!!!!! Kings Wharf is an interesting starting point as it has a couple of pubs, glassblowing shop, museum, shops, ferry and bus stop all within a short walk from the pier. All in all, this is a great relaxing cruise, a few days at sea and a few days in port. We did the "walk-off" disembarkation which went smoothly.
