We had a fantastic time on the NCL Dawn. We had the beverage and dining package. We ate at Cagneys twice and they were the best meals I have ever had in my nine cruises. We especially enjoyed the wine bar and both of the bartenders were top notch and friendly especially Christopher and ask for the Toma. I would avoid the buffet and stick to the main dining rooms unless you like eating at the ...
This was our 10th cruise so I am not new to cruising. We did one other Norwegian cruise, on the Gem from NY, and that was a little better.
The pro's on this cruise were leaving from Boston as we live in Massachusetts. Bermuda was amazing and had a great time while there. We did get a great on a last minute deal on the cruise ($499pp on inside room). The ship was renovated a month before our ...
Let me start by saying this is my 3rd time on the Dawn but my first time out of Boston. Ive been on 15 cruises and 5 with NCL. I read a lot about the dry dock and how the ship was updated. However, I saw very little different on the ship.It still has a dated feel. I traveled to Bermuda with my wife and two daughters 8 and 4 years old. The cruise was average....nothing special. I was annoyed that ...
We just got home from our Norwegian Dawn cruise to Bermuda! We enjoyed it very much!
Embarkation went smoothly. We thought we would be there for hours when we saw the line. We were on the ship and eating lunch by noon!
We had a mini suite and it was perfect for the two of us. I bought the party package since it was my husband's 70th birthday! Our cabin steward did a great job decorating the ...
Chose this cruise for both the destination and location of going out of Boston. Our family had a wonderful time. We would go (and are) again. We had a family suite without a balcony. Having a balcony didnt make a difference to us. The floor to ceiling windows more then made up for it. We also had priority embarkation/disembarkation which was nice.
We ate at 3 of the specialty ...
Just back from Bermuda. Embarkation was great was in 12:30 time slot arrived at pier at 12 noon was on ship by 12:45. Had 4 of us in Mini Suite 2 adults 2 teenagers room was perfect midship. Was on Dawn last year updates were awesome basicly a new ship. Meals were great all week. Mosly had the buffet for breakfast and lunch and main dinning rooms for dinner. Not one disappointing dinner all ...
We chose a cruise for a family trip with 27 people ranging in age from 1 to 84. The good points on the boat were the cleanliness and the staff - they provided great service. We had a promotion of a free ultimate beverage package which saved us tons of money on alcohol.
Having sailed on larger ships, we found this one offered too few activities. There wasn't a lot to do on the ship except the ...
My first thought now is: I hope there is someone out there who was on this cruise with me who saw what went down during the week. (July 15 - out of Boston - to Bermuda) because I would like to know if anyone else experienced what our group experienced by an unruly group of unsupervised young men (who were intoxicated all week). I was with a group of 36 people - all families (with mixed ...
This might take a couple of days to complete so I will use the installment plan. A little about us first. My wife and I are middle age (50 & 56) blue collar workers and this was our 10th cruise. We live in Florida and were visiting some friends in Boston when I decided to surprise my Bride with this cruise for her 50th birthday. We had never been to Bermuda and had never sailed on NCL. Our ...
Living just north of Boston makes this cruise quite simple for us. No flights, hotels, just get to the pier. The boarding process is much faster and easier than in the past. The Dawn is a good size ship. Large enough to offer a variety of bars and restaurants, but small enough so you don't feel lost in a crowd. NCL offers 'Free style" dining as well as 'specialty' dining. The Garden Cafe is a ...
