I always end up falling in love with whichever ship I'm sailing on at the moment, but sometimes — for various reasons, like aesthetics, layout, amenities, etc. — that love takes awhile to develop. But it was love at first sight for us on the beautiful Norwegian Dawn to Bermuda Sept. 5-12.
A little background: I'm 30, my husband is 32. We're from Michigan, and I hate to fly, so we like to leave ...
This is our fourth cruise and our third with NCL and I must say, overall, the Dawn to Bermuda was the best cruise experience we have had. The captain and the cruise director made all the difference - entertainment was especially high quality and there was great attention to service. Because we left before Labor Day and most kids are back in school, our experience with children was better than the ...
I've been reading cruise reviews on Cruise Critic since we booked our cruise to Bermuda so now it's time for me to write one. We LOVED our cruise out of New York City to Bermuda. Luckily our son lives in New Jersey so we drove to his house and left our car there. He drove us in and ,bless his heart, picked us up when the cruise was over. I had asked my cruise consultant for a quiet room and ...
The experience on this cruise was ours and ours alone. I do not attempt to speak for the other 2600+ passengers that sailed on this cruise. It is our honest opinions and experiences.

Back On The Dawn Darling! 08/08/10
The Dawn is the darling amongst the NCL fleet for New Yorkers and for many who return to her time and again because they love her so. She is the most musical of the family and my best friend and her son were sailing her this week. It was their first time on the Dawn and my fourth. I am loving this ship and the places she has been going to lately, especially ...
OK. Here goes. Just returned from the July 11-18 trip to Bermuda from New York. NCL Dawn cabin 10676. We are a couple in our 50's - and active.
We boarded - very easy as expected. Checked in to ship terminal, dropped the bags off, went through the regular line (we are Latitudes members but the regular line looked shorter), and got "numbers" to board around 12:30. Though the Latitudes line looked ...
First time I've written a review for CC. Here goes...
This was a mother/daughter cruise - my 3rd time on NCL, DD's first, and about my 10th overall. I'm early 50's, DD is mid 20's. We drove from Queens and had a heckuva time getting to the pier due to a triathlon on the Henry Hudson Pkwy that morning - who knew?? After many detours, we finally arrived at the pier, about 11:15. With 3 ships in ...
Let me start off by saying that my family and I are very picky eaters! This was our 1st time cruising, so we had no idea what or who to believe on the critics. We left NY for a Bermuda cruise. The food was great, so many choices to choose from, which helped us out. We ate what we wanted, when we wanted, where ever we wanted !! The buffet was great they had a variety of choices, there was always ...
We really enjoyed our cruise on the Dawn. This is our 3rd NCL cruise, 3 with Carnival, and 1 Royal Caribbean. I am a "young" 46 year old female. No cruise is perfect but this one was close! Here is our experience:
PROS: Matt Baker is a great cruise director - think Austin Powers! Musical entertainment is wonderful, especially Fire and Ice, Next Stage, and pool band. Try the Pub Crawl, Beer and ...
I hope this review helps and if you need any additional info, please ask. OK here we go:
Embarkation: Great and Organized (unless you were late) Dembarkation: Terrible, unorganized (unless you used the elevators in the front of the ship around 10:00 a.m. then no problem)
Food: Specialty Restaurants we ate in all of them except LeBistro (French), Cagneys wonderful, Impressions terrible, ...
