We were on the NCL Dawn for a Southern Caribbean cruise on Feb. 11th, 2011; a 9 day / 5 port cruise. This was the first time ever sailing with NCL or any other cruise line.
We picked this specific cruise with our friends, latitude members who have been on 4 other NCL cruises. They stated only good things regarding this cruise line (great service, food, and how clean the ships are). We booked this trip five and a half months prior to sailing.
We also picked this cruise specifically for these 5 ports and feel dissatisfaction of the cruise when we ended up going to only 2 of the 5 ports from the initial schedule.
