Traveled to Bermuda on 8/18/2017 from Boston, MA on the NCL Dawn. We booked a balcony on the 10th level (Room 10088). The ship states that it was refurbished in ~2016, looking at the room one wouldn't think it was. We have been on 3 other cruise ships (Carnival, Royal Car, Princess), Royal Car being far superior room wise then all the rest. NCL was second followed by Princess and Carnival being ...
This cruise was selected to celebrate my son's 50th birthday with family & friends
My husband & I thought there were to many children, running here and there and overall, just too many people!! The pool deck was so crowded with adults and children we couldn't enjoy this part of the cruise. Thankfully, we had a balcony. Speaking of the balcony, ours was above the shuffleboard and when trying ...
Family vacation....Myself, hubby, 2 sons & wives and 2 granddaughters age 4 & 5 and we had 3 balcony cabins side by side on deck 9 midship. Ship was perfect for us. Little girls only went to Splash Academy for a few hours and liked it, but they preferred to play at the Splash Pad and on the slides. Adult kids enjoyed the slides too! Hubby & I spent a lot of time at Spice H2O and loved it! ...
This cruise was to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We live near Boston so no flying was involved. College age / teenage kids were left at home, previous two cruises (on Carnival) included the kids. Getting on and off the ship was quick and easy, parking near the cruise terminal is very convenient.
We stayed in a balcony cabin mid ship on deck 10. The room was decent size with adequate room ...
Introduction
My mother and I are avid cruisers (but really, that’s all of us here). We know that the only remedy for being away from cruise ships is to go on more. When Mom decided that she needed a getaway sometime this year, I went hunting for cruise options that fit her schedule. We settled on a 7-day cruise to Bermuda (round-trip from Boston), a place neither of us has been. We also picked ...
We chose this cruise because we live near Boston and have never been to Bermuda. I originally booked an ocean view room, but took advantage of the upgrade bidding process and was upgraded to a balcony room for $300 more (a deal).
Embarkation: Couldn't have been smoother. We arrived via a taxi from South Station ($12 fare - about 10 minutes with average traffic), around 11:00 AM and dropped ...
We wanted something for the whole family. We were traveling with a large group. My review is only based on my experience alone and not other family members.This review will be long, but I am going to cover mostly all aspects of my trip. The good, the bad and what to expect.
I had not cruised in 20 years. The last time I was on a ship it was Celebrity Cruise lines in my late teens and ...
I have been cruising exclusively on NCL for about 17 years, Latitudes Platinum status. For the first time in over 20 cruises, I was disappointed. It was my first time on the Breakaway and it felt like all they cared about was money, money, money. What happened to "all inclusive?" Everything costs extra. It's only all inclusive if you eat in the dining rooms, the buffet or O'Sheehan's Pub and ...
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 ...
