I've been sailing on the Dawn from Boston to Bermuda each year for the past 5 years. This year was special because my nephew and his fiancee arranged to be married on the Dawn. They got engaged onboard the Dawn in 2015, and thought it would the best wedding ever to be married onboard the Dawn. The wedding was arranged with the wedding planners affiliated with Norwegian Cruise Line. The ceremony ...
The crew was exceptional in every respect. The fresh fruit was to die for. The specialty steak house was perfect. The usual staterooms were adequate if not too large. 165 feet was one with a balcony. The toilet entrance can't be used by anyone too fat. The shower was great. There is no cabin on the ship that is close to everything. If food is your thing, pick a cabin aft. If shows are for you, go ...
The Norwegian Dawn is our favorite ship. We choose this cruise because we live in the Boston area, and getting to port is easy. The Dawn is small enough to not feel overwhelming, but big enough to offer lots of great Freestyle choices. We watch for sailings featuring Jose and Patti as part of the entertainment - they are the highlight of our trip! Embarkation was very speedy and easy. The ...
Cabin 5069 is directly below the Italian restaurant kitchen ... which they begin cleaning at MIDNIGHT! The Hotel Mgr., Tony and the Guest Relations Mgr. Anna Maria were very accommodating and moved us to, same floor, at the end of the hall - cabin 5000.
Bermuda is nice and the port at the Naval Dockyards is great ... only 10 minute walk to the beach. But, we didn't sign on to this cruise for ...
First, the positives: Check in was efficient. Cabin was very clean with reasonably good storage, steward was very helpful, music was much better than I expected, with lots of live performers rather than recorded tunes, shows were lots of fun and very splashy with some excellent performers, Venetian and Aqua dining rooms were very pretty and comfortable, bartenders at O'Sheehans were friendly and ...
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 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 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 ...
