Seriously - DO NOT CRUISE WITH NORWEGIAN!

Review for a Bermuda Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

After years of dreaming of going to Bermuda, my husband and I decided to take a cruise there. We chose Norwegian, because their sail date was over our anniversary and the time in port was to be 3 days. We scrimped and saved and planned for 10 months for this trip. I don’t know about most people, but a vacation like this is a sheer luxury for us and not something we take lightly. We had cruised on ...

This was our first experience with NCL and it will be our last. We have sailed on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, MSC and Celebrity and I would rank NCL just above MSC as the worst. Free Style cruising in my opinion is just a marketing pitch with the real goal to being to "up-sell" you to specialty dining rooms because the main dining options that come with the cruise are so poor. After trying 3 of the ...

I guess I should start by saying its all about expectations. I have only cruised two other times, both with Carnival, and I absolutely loved both trips!! The ships were beautiful, shows were incredible, and the staff during both trips couldn't do enough for you. I had been told Carnival was a "party" ship, and kind of bottom of the barrel as far as cruise lines. On both trips, we went with ...

Regular cruisers, my wife and I still had not had the chance to sail the Norwegian Line, so when a July 12, 2013 trip to Bermuda sailing out of Boston, our hometown, came up we jumped aboard. The ship was the Norwegian Dawn, hereinafter, the Norwegian Doom. Early signs of trouble showed up at portside passenger registration, when we were told the ship, rated for 2,224 passengers, had been bumped ...

NCL markets their ships as having “adult-only” clubs were you can dance until dawn.” Although not mentioned by NCL, which promotes the Norwegian Dawn as having “12 fun bars and lounges”, the real target groups for this cruise are (1) parents that want to allow their 18 yr. old children to drink and gamble (although clearly no effort was made to ensure that those that only perhaps looked 18 were ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We waited 44 years to take our first cruise. After our experience on Norwegian it will be at least that long before we take another. I am not writing this to seek any type of response or accommodation from Norwegian, nor am I naive enough to think that the CEO or company cares even a little about the opinion of one person (actually four because my husband and parents who were along for the trip ...

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

In June of 2008, along with other family members, I took a cruise on NCL's Majesty to Bermuda. The ventilation ducts in our cabin were very noisy from the time we arrived until the time we disembarked, complaining got us nowhere. At the elevator bank/ stairwell closest to our cabins (on deck 6), was a terrible odor of raw sewage, which was present the entire length of the cruise. At the poolside ...

My husband and I took our 4 children (8mos, 2yrs, 8yrs, and 8yrs) on this NCL cruise out of Boston. We live in Vermont so we chose a cruise that we could drive to the embarkation port to save money. I was extremely disappointed with the food. The buffets were the same pretty much every day and it was cafeteria type food. Nothing special at all. The two restaraunts that you could go to ...

I have always sailed with NCL and each year it gets worse, this last cruise was the last one I will ever sail with NCL, the convenience of port is not even worth it anymore. cruise director, If we really had one, did not do his job. see bullets below: - soda card purchased, was treated like I was presenting a state welfare card when I went to get soda, used the spray soda only but, ...

THIS IS NO CRACKIN, CRACKERJACK,SMASHING GOOD TIME. MORE LIKE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! LET's be Blunt this cruise stunk. The Sun has set on this ship appropriately named the dawn because it must be hoping the dawn will soon come, or maybe renamed the NCL DUSK since the sun has went down on this ship a long time ago. CRUISE DIRECTOR— They make the cruise memorable, John was horrible. He ...
