We enjoyed an easy ride to the pier on Sunday in New York and the Dawn the only ship at the Manhattan terminal. As suite Latitude passengers, we were directed to the VIP lounge where we were escorted aboard at 11:30AM by our excellent concierge Anshuman from India. We had a pleasant lunch at the nearly empty Garden Cafe and then proceeded to our cabin where we were greeted by our cabin stewards ...
Sailed from New York on 10/12 with a group of 31 family/friends. Took a limo bus to the terminal. No complications at all. Crew was there to open doors for us and whisk away our luggage. Embarkation was the best I've seen yet. Arrived to terminal at 11:45 and on the ship by 12:15 and drinking our free glass of champagne. Very nice way to start our cruise. Had lunch sitting next to the pool where ...
We are in our early 50's and have been on 9 cruises. This was our fourth time to Bermuda and first time on the Dawn. I have been on the NCL Spirit twice and love the Freestyle concept.
We take a bus from PA to Port Authority Bus Terminal and a cab to the dock. Arrived about 11 a.m. and were on the ship by 11:30. Simple and fast moving lines. Love the welcome aboard drink. We were able to ...
Sorry for this "late" posting, but I was so busy last week I barely had time to do anything outside of work! As I submit this review it's already the 20th!
This October 5th-12th cruise on the NCL Dawn was a Mother/Daughter cruise and we had a blast! It was my 17th cruise overall, my 2nd with NCL (first one was on the Majesty this past New Year's Eve) and it was the 6th cruise overall for my ...
A friend and I sailed on the October 5th-12th cruise on the NCL Dawn; without a doubt this cruise rates up there as one of the best cruises I have ever taken. I've cruised 9 times, if I remember correctly, overall; 6 with NCL, 2 with Holland America and 1 with Carnival. This was my friend's first cruise. I would say that I have converted her into a "cruiser" after experiencing this cruise. ...
We had never contemplated sailing to Bermuda from New York as Boston is a much closer port for us. Why drive 4 hours instead of 45 minutes and pay double to park? Not to mention the cost of gas with prices being what they are now days. That changed in August of 2007 when I stumbled on an apparent glitch on the NCL website...an oceanview guarantee for $149pp??? "Oh, this can't be right" I ...
Background: My husband & I are both in our late 50's. We traveled with another couple on this cruise. This was our 14th or 15th time on the Norwegian Dawn. I am fortunate to be involved in the travel industry and have cruised many times in the last 10 years or so. I seem to always want to come back "home" to the Dawn because it's convenient, has a great selection of dining options and most of ...
Just got back from our first cruise to Bermuda. Reviewer back round: Wife and I are in our early 50's, this was our 6th cruise and 4th on NCL. We have sailed Carnival and Princess as well.
The embarkation was a snap as we drove in from NJ, and we were on the ship in about 15 minutes. Had lunch in the Venetian and just as we finished the room ready announcement was made. We had a Mini Suite ...
I cruised on the Dawn August 10-17 to Bermuda with my husband and parents. My husband and I are 30 and 24 respectively...my parents are 48 and 52. My parents cruised once before (with me when I was 14) on Carnival. My husband and I have cruised together twice before, but this was the first NCL cruise for all.
Embarkation: We booked a bus transfer with Yankee Trails in upstate NY. If you live in ...
This is my first time on the Dawn. We were a big party of 15 people, both children and adults. All of us had inner, no frills cabins, and were very happy with the accommodations.
Departure: Very easy to get on the ship. By 12:30 we had all met in the dining room of the Venetian and had a nice lunch with a beautiful view of Manhattan. The food was a B+ and the service was an A. The staff ...
