Southern Caribbean Norwegian Dawn Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

My husband and I sailed on the Dawn 2/11/2011 through 2/20/2011. The first indication we had of something not quit right was when the captain came on the Public Address at 6:30pm(2 hours after we were supposed to leave)to let us know that there were finally sailing but we had engine problems and we would be skipping our first port, Samana Dominican Republic.

The stage shows were good and Jose and Patti were fantastic! This cruise line ...

We normally do not book excursions choosing ...
