Overall the cruise was good but the cabin was awful. I would never recommend this cabin to anyone for the price you pay. The entertainment was good. The food and specialty restaurants were awesome. Our butler and steward were great. The concierge did not do us any favors or help us with our unpleasant situation. Bring a jacket because all restaurants, bars and theaters are freezing but our ...
First, I realize we cruised during a pandemic. AND NCL did a great job making sure EVERYONE tested negative before we boarded. BRAVO. BUT before we left, NCL personal ON LAND in offices either in Miami or where ever they answer phones, told me the ship was ALMOST FULL and had no capacity limits. I called over 3 times, maybe 4 times to see get that info so I could BID on a room upgrade. ...
This was our 12th cruise. It was our fifth cruise with Norwegian. I am evaluating this cruise in comparison to the other 11 cruises we’ve taken. I believe food is 50% of the total experience, Service is 20% of the total experience, entertainment is 20% of the total experience and bars are 10% of the total experience. I am not factoring in anything for shore excursions because due to a previous ...
We are avid fans of Norwegian Cruise Line and have been for a number of years. So this review is somewhat difficult for us to publish...We only ever sail on NCL...
So here is our personal experience:
Would we go on the NCL Dawn again... Answer: NO... The crew were amazing but the ship needs to be retired. We experienced challenges with the public restrooms (most of them out of order for the ...
We have been on many NCL ships, including the Dawn. Our cabin was great along with embankment and disembarkment and service. The ship was very clean and personnel were very friendly. However, we are not picky eaters, but when the best thing for lunch was a hotdog, you know there are poor choices. How do you screw up the food on a cruise !! The selections on the buffet were just not good and we ...
1st time on Norwegian, and most likely our last. Lots of positives (extremely dedicated & hard working waiters, bartenders, cabin staff...very comfortable cabins), but because we spent 5 of 7 days confined to the ship (sea days), attention needs to be focused on customer experience. So here is a fresh off the cruise feedback.
-Small ship because of the Tampa Skyway bridge restrictions. You ...
This was our 3rd time on the Dawn and wow has it changed, and not for the better. All the staff are friendly but slow. They are very hard to understand. I had a few repeat what they were saying but after the second time I just smiled. We were seated in the Aqua dinning room for 20 minutes and did not see our waiter so we left. The food on NCL has gone down hill. It seems that the perks they ...
We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and wanted to do something a bit special. We particularly wanted to visit Caribbean islands that we hadn’t visited before such as Antigua and St.Lucia. It was disappointing that we were unable to dock at either of these islands due to bad weather. Whilst I appreciate that this was unavoidable, the replacement stop of Martinique was a big let ...
It all started when I made reservations with an NCL AGENT for an 11 day cruise in southern Caribbean because we wanted to see St Lucia. . The agent told us that the Norwegian Dawn was a small ship but was remodelled ad looked really nice! He told us the cabin was going to be deluxe and great location ! This info stirred me sexy from getting a balcony cabin.he did not book our cabin but waited for ...
We chose Norwegian based on reviews after our last cruise with Carnival. Also, we wanted to experience a different firm and ship. Norwegian is much more expensive than Carnival. We expected a much better experience; sadly, our expectations were belied.
The ship had an Indian chef as Head Chef, and the most horrible food on the buffet was Indian. It was as if the chefs need urgent crash course ...
