The staff was horrible, the food was horrendous and the entertainment was almost non existent. You can no longer bring water or soda on board but you can bring wine probably because they charge a corkage fee. Don't even try to contest the water policy because they file a report with the mall security team on the ship and then they threaten to remove you from the ship...
Had sailed on NCL 10 or ...
Had a ocean view room on the 8th floor. My only complaint about the whole trip was, our beds were hard as rocks, even after my room steward put an egg crate on it. Had a wonderful room steward. Staff on the entire ship was extremely friendly. We ate at all of the complementary restaurants including Bamboo, garden cafe, Aqua, O'Sheehan's and Venetian. All were fantastic. We went to Bermuda. ...
We chose to get married in Bermuda, and sailing on the Dawn to get there seemed convenient and cost effective for us. We ended up bringing over 60 of our friends and family aboard with us. In a word it was AMAZING!!!!! This was for me, and many of my guests, a first time cruising. I have to admit, I was getting nervous as there are A LOT of negative reviews out there on the Dawn. Don't be fooled, ...
A bit of background to begin...
We are a family of four (2 sons, ages 14 and 16, my DH and myself). We traveled from Maine on Thursday, stayed overnight at the Sheraton in Norwood so that my DH and DS could attend a game at Gillette, and then drove to the Black Falcon Terminal on Friday morning. Parking was simple, once we found the parking lot, which only took three times of driving past it ...
We took this same cruise last Summer (pre-dry dock) so I will be comparing the two cruises. We had a wonderful cruise and thought all the changes made the Ship look like new. The were 5 of us on this cruise. There was my wife (Nancy) and I (John). There was my son (Johnny) who turned 21 on the cruise. The final 2 were my daughter (Amber) and her Fiancé Brandon (who would like to be referred ...
We're a married couple 60 & 62. We drove from Pennsylvania and stayed at a motel in Worcester one night then drove to Boston the next morning. Didn't want to chance missing the boat due to traffic problems. I read another review about the poop in the pool incident. Unfortunately things like this are hard to avoid when people drink too much. We had the "ultimate beverage package" too but never ...
I loved this cruise. I went with my daughter, boyfriend, and sister. Entertainment was excellent. Loved the Freestyle. Hardly had a wait when ate at the restaurants. Food was good. Plenty of choices included in the cruise price. Service people were excellent and always polite. My sister and me had a state room. A little small but very nice. We were on the 10th floor. It was a great floor ...
Visiting Bermuda is the highlight of your vacation. While the Norwegian Dawn itself had plenty of activities and entertainment, variety of eating preferences, and friendly staff, it lacked consistency in enforcing rules set by the ship, providing accurate information especially for first time cruisers, and air quality especially in the casino area.
For first time cruisers - make early ...
I have been cruising on Norwegian every year for more than 7 years to Bermuda from Boston.
On August 5th 2016 we had two major problems with our cruise.
1.) The air conditioning in our stateroom was not working properly.
After reporting it on the first day a tech came to our stateroom and upon entering said, " I can feel that is is warm in here, let me take a look". He then shoved a ...
We were a group of four ladies on a "girls" cruise. We had two inside cabins on the same deck on opposite ends of the hallway. We picked this particular cruise as we could drive to Boston and had a friend drop us at the pier -- no parking charges!! We arrived at the port about 12:45 and were on board by 1:30. Embarkation went smoothly. The customer service rep recommended that we head straight ...
