NCL has slipped greatly

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

Chose this ship for its length and NCLā€™s included packages. Have been on previous NCL ships, last one was when Covid was just hitting the states. We were a group of 13 all in our 50ā€™s-60ā€™s and we felt like the young group on board, just hit a very elderly cruise thatā€™s all. Embarking was easy enough. Outside deck service is near nonexistent, youā€™ll end standing in line, waiting to ...

Not as good as my last cruise

2-5 Cruises ā€¢ Age 60s

My First time on the Dawn and the first cruise in three years because of pandemic. Norwegian is a great line, but the Dawn needs improvement. The ship seemed short-staffed. Infection control measures appeared to be nonexistent. Only a few staff members were masked. The washy-washy disappeared somewhere during the cruise. Antiseptic containers were sometimes empty. Restaurants didn't seem to care ...

An old, but very nice and comfortable, ship

We chose this cruise because it departs from Tampa. The day of embarkation was hectic; fog closed the port for 8 hours, so we could not board until 6 PM. Once onboard, the ship left as quickly as possible and we were underway by 8:15 or so. We lost no port time due to late embarkation. The ship, though old, is clean and comfortable. Food upstairs by the pool is delicious, as is the food in the ...

We chose this 11-day cruise because of the itinerary, 5 ports of call and 5 sea days and we wanted to explore Key West as one of the ports. We have been on the Dawn a couple of times before and enjoyed the smaller ship and the exclusive wine bar. Embarkation in Tampa went smooth, we arrived around 1:30 pm and went through priority access quickly as Platinum Latitude members. The buffet was open, ...

Hi Everyone, I finally was able to take my first vacation in 10 years so I decided to take a cruise on an older ship, but not too old because I didn't want to travel on a floating city like the ships that are being built now a days. These ships can hold 5000 + PAX and 2500 crew. I also wanted to leave from a port that was relatively close to my home. I live in Florida and we have quite a few ...

Cruise ship is very poorly maintained. Our cabin had numerous issues, none of which were fixed. Food was mediocre at most times. We had a few good meals in the MDR. We had cruised on the Dawn about 3 years prior, and this was our 10th+ cruise on NCL. The staff, for the most part, did not care. Very poor customer service. Entertainment was, surprisingly, pretty good, but it did not make up ...

Worst cruise we've been on

6-10 Cruises ā€¢ Age 70s

I wanted a short cruise departing from our home town. For two days we had no hot water. My son had no hot water for the entire cruise. Most of the staff had no idea what they were doing. The wait at every bar was very long. Since the imposition of gratuities the staff had no incentive to work faster. The food was mediocre at best. If you asked a staff member for assistance they would nod and go ...

10+ Cruises ā€¢ Age 70s

NCL used to be a very friendly cruise line with great guest services. However, during our most recent two cruises with NCL (one before and one after the Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions), they have shown they know how to ruin a cruise. This southern Caribbean cruise, our third recent cruise, is no exception, just a significant number of frustrations, disappointments, broken promises that add up ...

Good, Not Great Cruise

First, Cruise Critic does not have an explanation of what the rating bubbles mean. I am assuming that 3 means good. We enjoyed the cruise and would go on another Constellation cruise assuming the quality does not drop lower (the food quality on this cruise was lower than the food quality on summer cruise on Summit), and the price were reasonable. The service was great everywhere on the ship ...

First Time Cruiser ā€¢ Age 50s

My wife and I chose this trip for my first ever cruise - a four-night cruise to Grand Bahama and back - with family and friends. It's one of the smaller ships, so I had lower expectations (after reading so much about the giant ships). We left for Tampa on January 11th, when national airports shut down in the morning - an inauspicious start. Worse yet, the weather turned - down into the 50's - ...
