Norwegian Dawn Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to Baltic Sea

This was supposed to be one of the cruises of a lifetime. Anything but. Been on NCL many times previously but this was the first cruise since covid. Very disappointing, to say the least. Everything had been cut back. The food quality was way down. I was told that there was a challenge sourcing food. What was served was terrible. They need to hire new staff and get quality control people on board. ...

My husband, son, and I embarked on this cruise to celebrate a number of milestones in our family. We opted to upgrade our room (deck 9, forward facing balcony) and take advantage of all that offered, which, in the end, was a mix of good and bad. I had anxiety about taking a cruise during Covid (yes, it does still exist; all 3 of us contracted it). For what we paid, we really don't feel like ...

We live in Arizona and it's HOT in August! We wanted to travel somewhere where the weather was cool and the terrain was different from where we live. We were not disappointed! We were personally met at check-in and escorted up to our suite on the 12th deck. We were able to be in our room by 1:00 though our luggage arrived around 5:00. We have never stayed in a room that included butler and ...

We have been cruising with NCL for almost 20 years. This will be out last cruise with NCL. A lot has changed (and not for the best) while cruising with them over the years. Although we are "Sapphire Level", even those "perks" have been changed and are minimal. As far as the food, room, service and entertainment - all were subpar. THE FOOD: We ate at all of the restaurants and buffet. ...

The cruise was ruined for us by the extraordinary noise we have been subjected to every evening in our staterooms from 6pm to 10.30 pm by bands playing in the nearby Atrium. I complained 3 different times that the noise levels are above safety standards (capable of having an ordinary conversation an arm’s length apart). Their reception staff have to work in the same noise levels so the cruise line ...

We choose this cruise based on the destinations and the price. We enjoyed the cruise but found the ship confusing to navigate. Renovations have left this ship a bit chopped up as far as deck layout goes. There were no distinct problems but she is starting to show her age. Food while plentiful, was a little unimaginative, and repetitive. The noise levels on the ship could be quite high at times in ...

We are platinum with NCL and have taken 4 cruises since the pandemic. At first I excused the reduced staff due to Covid. Now I understand they are just cutting costs at the expense of service to the passengers. The cabin stewards have twice as many cabins so no turn down service. They are overworked and in bad mood. They cannot provide personal service and you cannot count on what time your cabin ...

We have sailed NCL many times and our expectations are low. However this cruise made low expectations even worse. To give some of the highlights: No cabins were ready until 345pm despite being allowed on board from before noon . Our room was never dusted or cleaned properly. The TV and safe did not work. Someone had put garbage under the bed from previous cruise and it was still there. It ...

We wanted to explore a little outside our usual territory, and the Baltic Sea was an area we hadn't really visited in depth. We also hadn't cruised much with Norwegian, but they had the itinerary and we thought the price was fair... so off to Sweden we flew. We spent a couple days in Stockholm before departure, and enjoyed trips to the Vasa Museum, a tour of the archipelago that lies between ...

Having sailed with others, we are restricted due to the school holidays; where my partner works and it can limit our choice and availability. We flew to Copenhagen and enjoyed an amazing city before cruising. Everything from getting on the ship at Copenhagen to leaving it at Stockholm; was fantastically executed. Food and choices along with entertainment was the best I've experienced to ...
