We chose this cruise because we have sailed with Norwegian before. Room Stewart was not very attentive. Will not sail this ship again. The ship gave out of ultra beer or if you tipped they would find you one. When itineraries changed took half the day to get you the changes to your cabin. I love the freestyle of Norwegian but wasn’t impressed with the dawn at all. Smoking area was very crowded ...

Poor itinerary, poor choice for a cruise

The ports of call were tourist traps. Belize was NOT a good port, as it was a small area of shops and a pool built for NCL to dump off the passengers. It is not anywhere near the "real" Belize. Each port was the same, a tourist trap. Cozumel would have been a good port, but it was scratched due to high winds. The food was not good enough for everyone that I talked to. Everybody was ...

Cruise Review: Brutally honest! This is my fourth cruise so I truly can’t say I am an experienced cruiser. What I will do is compare my cruises and give you my honest opinion. I have cruise with two different cruise lines and so I will compare them as I have experienced. With these two you have good and bad and there’s always something to complain about. So for the Norwegian Dawn, our cruise ...

Could have been a great cruise except for the noise volume everywhere.

I've started writing this while still on board with a few days yet to go on our cruise so that everything is fresh in mind, and will finish after we leave the ship. My wife and I booked a Mini Suite and with it came some special offers which we accepted. Don't feel for a moment that what you are paying for your 'Guest Fare' is anywhere near your total expense. Here what was on our ...

I have been on 5 cruises, on different ships. First time on Norwegian. If what had happened to my family did not happen, the cruise would have been below par anyway. The ship was average, Activities were good, Service was poor except for our steward. He was great. Dining was average to poor. Dinner was sent back several times at the specialty/upscale restaurants, 1 of 3 restaurants tried was good, ...

Started our week long cruise by standing in line, on the street, next to operating trolley cars, for 3 hours!!! Nowhere to sit, no explanation by NCL staff. Hundreds and hundreds of people. We were slotted to board at 12:30. After 3pm by the time we boarded. No apologies. Food was terrible. No exaggerating. Terrible. Paid extra for specialty dining. Also terrible with the exception of Cagneys. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

Bad stuff: The food doesn't change, and the dishes served are butchered horribly. The tip is forced onto you no matter what. Maybe instead of putting the responsibility of sustaining the staff financially on the customers, the NCL could actually pay their employees. The excursions are ridiculously boring, since everything is staged for wealthy tourist entertainment. You will not see any of the ...

I won this cruise but paid to upgrade to balcony. I hope this is not the norm w/ Norwegian. The staff is not organized and not helpful. Not many served drinks - never cruised where I stood in line to get a drink! Food was just “ok”. Nothing spectacular. Restaurants were dated and could use some sprucing up. Entertainment was bad. The only semi decent show was the comedian. Housekeeping was ...

Staff simply showed no effort or attentiveness to make the passenger expierence enjoyable Specifically the entertainment staff and shore excursion staff The specialty restaurants were nice, food good but expensive and noisy. Pool always crowded. No attention paid to not leaving towels out to reserve seats. Most chairs blocked for the day by 8am With drink packages offered as ...
