I have nothing to compare, but the Norwegian Dawn far exceeded all my expectations!
Teppanyaki, Cagneys, Moderno, Aqua and Venetian were all excellent for food. The buffet was very good, also! Didn’t enjoy Los Lobos at all, except their chips and salsa.
I was surprised that there was only one small pool onboard. It was always crowded. My husband surprised me with a 5-day Thermal Suite pass to the Spa, so I spent time in the lap pool. R
Shower was bigger than I expected, plenty roomy. The beds together made a king, which was very comfy. Balcony was great to have!
