They did not specifically announce "no smoking on balconies" so there were a bunch of smokers on the balconies- Despite complaining to guest services at least 4 times about the smoke coming into our state room - nothing was done. Instead of finding and reprimanding the smokers, they moved us to the other side of the ship- ABOVE THE BLISS CLUB. So we heard pounding every night until at least 1:30 ...
We decided on this cruise since it departed from NYC. All of my previous cruises have been out of Florida on other cruise lines. This was my first cruise on NCL and most likely my last with them. Food in most of the restaurants was sub par. The only good meal was one that we had to pay for in Ocean Blue. There and only there was the food cooked correctly and the service was excellent. We ...
We are a group of 7. Three balconies together. Ages from 14 - 75. 4 in one room, 2 in another and 1 (me) in the last. The rooms are very cramped and balconies very. Small. The bed is almost flush against the closet. My daughters family of 4 just lived out of their suitcases instead of trying to put clothes in the closet. Room steward not too attentive to detail. Maybe because of the ship ...
We liked that the trip originated in Boston. We had never been to Bermuda, and thought it was a great time to try.
My husband, who has a nut allergy, was well taken care of in all of the restaurants except Aqua, where the waiter did not understand us. The only problem with all of the restaurants is that none of the servers speak English. When someone has a potential life threatening allergy, ...
dear travelers,
A little over a month ago I left Boston on the Norwegian Dawn headed to Bermuda. At the beginning everything seemed to be exactly what we had hoped for. The staff was friendly, the check in process was smooth. These things were short lived. It was myself and two other passengers traveling in one oceanfront cabin. The room size was adequate for the three of us and house keeping ...
This was a family vacation long overdue. We had a great time. There were fourteen of us. Everything about the cruise was memorable. From the first day onboard to our last day. We had balcony cabins and its the only way to cruise. I've had balconys before but this was the first time for our other travelers. They said they were spoiled and would never cruise unless in a balcony. Loved Bermuda. The ...
We loved Bermuda. Leaving from Boston is a breeze. We have traveled on the Dawn many times.
Getting on the ship was so easy. We arrive at Black Falcon at 11;30. We were on the ship by noon.
We choose to go to the buffet for lunch. The buffet is OK. The area is very clean. The food is OK. It is not fabulous, but it is not awful. I usually get a salad with fruit. So the buffet is ...
Chose this cruise for timing and ease of access to Boston. Have been on Holland America ships and QM2. Was disappointed in everything except service. Got a great deal for suite with butler - first time with this. Suite was beautiful and came with lots of perks. Our butler and room steward were outstanding. Pool was too small, too crowded, and had no shallow end. Lots of drinking in the pool. ...
Ship was chosen to coincide with our anniversary. Very Old ship and even with 6' swells we were rocking and rolling. Moved very slowly to give us two full days going and two full days returning. Would have liked to have had more time in Bermuda. Staff tried to make trip as pleasant as possible. Food in specialty restaurant was overcooked and very bland. Buffet had large variety and most passengers ...
I did the Boston cruise 10 yrs ago on another Norwegian ship and thought its time to go back to Bermuda!
My travel was booked by my trusted travel agent who got us a balcony cabin on deck 9. We were later upgraded to a better balcony on deck nine for free by my travel agent. Our adult sons had a inside on deck 9 and it was their first cruise.
From parking in Boston to embarking on our ...
