Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

we went on a norwegian cruise 10 years ago and had a very different experience. it was pretty awesome last time, this was extremely disappointing & not at all worth it
the food was not nearly as good this time
there's a hidden daily fee that now gets added every day you're at sea
the "free at sea" included:
- free drinks
- from bartenders that were resentful
- did not ...

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite which had pluses and minuses (discussed further below). This was our third trip on the Dawn, and we were disappointed by the appreciable decline in the quality of the service, food and entertainment since our last trip pre-COVID. Fewer things are included- 2 specialty dinners instead of 3 for a 7 day cruise, fewer drinks included in the drink package (especially ...

This will all come out in my blog review, but I wanted to share my experience on the Norwegian Dawn (March 12-19 of 2023), here first. The embarkation and Debarkation was a cluster of epic proportions and the "choose your board time" was nonexistent. I loved all the ports this ship took us too, one even offering a passport stamp for a donation. When we sail, we want good food, good entertainment ...

We were on the NCL Dawn for a 14 day Caribbean Cruise. There is lots to report regarding our disembarkation. It was the absolute worst ever. It seems there was a big problem getting the normal gangway in place when we arrived at the port of Tampa. The number of passengers who could get off was very limited as the Dawn crew resorted to using the level 4 very steep and narrow gang ways instead. ...

Cruise ship is very poorly maintained. Our cabin had numerous issues, none of which were fixed. Food was mediocre at most times. We had a few good meals in the MDR. We had cruised on the Dawn about 3 years prior, and this was our 10th+ cruise on NCL. The staff, for the most part, did not care. Very poor customer service. Entertainment was, surprisingly, pretty good, but it did not make up ...

I have never been on a cruise ship that ignored passengers more than this crew for the Norwegian Dawn. My husband and I do not drink alcohol, but in order to get any kind of service for poolside drinks, we had to rely on people who had beverage packages to order even a simple water for us. We were told that drinks like water or iced tea can be obtained from the Garden Cafe, a full deck below and ...

This was my 26th cruise and it was by first NOT enjoyable one. The first time I didn't gain weight and the first time we couldn't wait to get the hell off that annoying ship.
The food was absolutely the worst Ive ever had on a cruise. It reminded me of school cafeteria food. The first day we hit the buffet for lunch and both of us were shocked at the lack of selection and low ...

The food was cold at every station, even the fine dining. Cold and served raw hamburger. I was quarantined from gastroenteritis complications. Symptoms of hot and cold runny nose soar throat brain fog muscle break down fever loss of appetite cough diarrhea, vomiting. I was so sick the ship hospital cost me 4K. So I paid for something that ship infected me with! I was also treated with disrespect ...

We have cruised over 15 times, the last four ( with in 2 yrs) with NCL. This was disappointment from the time we entered the ship. We always upgrade to a suite and have been very pleased. This is the first time I used a NCL representative to book and I feel he talked us into the worse suite on the ship. It has a water sealing door instead of an extended window. It was in front of the ship so ...

I was so excited about this cruise! Let's start with what went well:
+smooth embarkation process, very fast
+large and cozy cabin
+fun excursions
+the singing shows were pretty good!
The disasters
-The air in the cabin was so dry that I would wake up with my nose bleeding every morning and I eventually got terribly sick. I asked multiple times to borrow/rent/buy a humidifying ...
