Have elderly family - nearly the last of my father's side of the family - living near Boston and try to visit a couple of times a year. Options are flight to Logan (from where I live in the Florid Panhandle) for a couple of days visit...or an ugly slog up I-10 and I-95 (or I-85 and I-95 for a couple of days each way. A couple of years ago I saw a re-positioning of the RCI Serenade of the Seas ...
We chose this cruise because it was a re-positioning cruise with multiple ports we had not been to, many sea days which we love and because it was on the Dawn and we had done a repo cruise 2 years ago and LOVED it.
What makes the ship and this trip so great? The officers and crew who go out of their way to make sure you're having a great time. The ship is not too big so you have the ...
We chose this cruise because of the length and locations it was going too. We had never been to the Western Caribbean. Since we had a Family Suite with a balcony we received the privilages that come with this. Once we arrived at the pier we looked for the location where people in Suites checked in. They first tried having us go in line with everyone else but I knew better so I looked around and ...
This is about the 5th time we have done a Dawn repositioning from New Orleans to Boston, or the fall reverse. As always, we find the repositioning to be a great value, as well as the added advantage of walking off the ship and being home in 40 minutes without the hassle of boarding a plane.
Our goal on vacation is sleep late, drink lots, and eat good food. This cruise fulfilled all the above. ...
Twelve days is NOT too much, we LOVED IT!! We chose this cruise because we always wanted to do a reposition cruise. Leaving out of NOLA allowed us to visit with family who live there and arriving back in Boston sealed the deal since this is where we live. Thanks to our niece and nephew, we got to see a great deal of New Orleans via walking and by car the day before the cruise. It is s beautiful ...
Flew to New Orleans to take the ship which ended in Boston where I live. Everything was perfect.. Very attentive butler. We were in a suite which was a great experience. Taking a suite is just not the better cabin, but all of the perks that come along with it. Every move you make is a priority over everyone else on the ship. A suite is the only way to cruise. Norwegian did it up perfectly. ...
The 12 day repositioning cruise we returned from on May 1st really changed my opinion of Norwegian. The Norwegian Dawn started in New Orleans, went to Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and finishing in Boston. We have been to every location multiple times on many cruise lines, but this was only our second cruise on Norwegian. Our first experience was on the Majestic which left from ...
Being that this was my first cruise, I had little expectation.
However I was happily surprised. It was wonderful.
The service was very good, food amazing and plentiful, and entertainment was good but somewhat repetitive. The little details such as the welcome back to the ship by the dancing staff after an excursion, the cabin animal towels and the flexibility of 'mix n match' with the ...
As a "Princess only" Cruiser, I went on a Harrah's cruise with NCL. I had the mindset that NCL had lower standards than Princess and not to expect much. I was blown away by the hospitality on board NCL. The cruise staff and entertainment had all passengers wanting to see the shows and bands each day and night. The food was excellent in every outlet and service was top notch all around the ...
We had a package which included 4 days in New Orleans and 2 days in Copenhagen.
We had a great cruise... food ...entertainment and the crew were all excellent, We had 13 days around the Caribbean and what a glorious cruise and ports, Our next Port was Boston and we found it to be a lovely city. 2 days out of Boston we celebrated an Anzac day dawn service with the few Aussies on board and then a ...
