Overview
With some of the largest staterooms at sea, the Norwegian Dawn invites you to stretch out and enjoy your time onboard.
The 3-bedroom, 6,694 square foot Garden Villa comes complete with butler service, a piano and a private garden.
However, you don’t need a large suite to enjoy the Norwegian Dawn because she has fabulous public spaces including the acclaimed Cagney’s Steakhouse, the casino and The Oasis Pool.
Plus, a wide range of youth programs ensure plenty of time for mom and dad to explore the Norwegian Dawn's bars and lounges.

Main dining room food and service were very good. Staff was very attentive and pleasant. We received exceptional service from our server, Raymond Ramirez and his assistant, Lackson. We were pleasantly surprised with the Garden Cafe Buffet. Food was delicious and presentation made everything taste as good as it looked. It was nice the staff took the time to get to know us and our names. Assistant Maitre d Ketut checked o us often and made our experience enjoyable. Cruise excursion desk hours were very limited and staff needs more training. Their general knowledge of the areas we traveled to needs much improvement. Our cruise director, I don't even remember her name, left much to be desired. We hardly saw her. However, Rob, the Assistant Cruise Director, was fantastic! His team really showed how much they enjoyed and cared about the guests. Chelsea is a standout member! Public bathrooms need to be attended to more diligently. The ships app should be made more user friendly and include information for the entire cruise, not just 24 in advance.
Pros: Staff was phenomenal
Cons: The ships app was woefully lacking. You could only view daily activities and events 24 hours prior, if you were lucky.

This cruise ship was perfect for the type of cruise we took which was ports of call every day. The little more relaxed atmosphere is nice. It doesn’t have all the extras like water slides and rock walls or things like that but our whole group really liked that it was more quiet on the pool deck. You could find more upbeat areas if you wanted like in the bliss lounge with lots of group games etc. Some people wanted the more dress up feel at night but the10 of us that booked all loved that we didn’t have to work around and worry about dinner reservations or getting super dressed up after being out all day. We still got a little cleaned up for sure but it was less pressure in that area. Some food we didn’t love but that’s to be expected I’m sure. You could always find something you could enjoy. The staff in those areas was always great. Our room was basic but always very clean. The whole ship was very clean. We overall has a great experience!
Pros: Excellent staff, excellent entertainment, casual atmosphere
Cons:

we enjoy the specialty dining as well as dining in the Venetian. the Staff takes care of the guests so wonderfully. We also enjoyed the nightly shows in the Stardust theater and especially enjoyed the comedian. The dancers and vocalist were amazing.WE also enjoy the Thermal suites for the quiet. I appreciate the cleanliness of the ship and I also feel safe. I enjoy seeing the beauty of the food as well.
Pros: The Staff, the Staff and the Staff

This was a 15 day repositioning cruise from New York City to Tampa, stopping at 9 ports (8 countries). Enjoyed entire experience. Staff was great. We had an inside cabin on deck 5 and had no problems w/noise or motion. Cabin was near a crew transit way, but they kept noise to a minimum. Lots of free dining options, food excellent and varied. Ate at one a la carte restaurant and food outstanding. Entertainment was varied. Ship's main singers and dance company, house band and dance band excellent. Also liked musicians who sang at different venues throughout ship. Plenty of ship board activities for days at sea. Casual cruise, not overly rigid w/dress codes and meals. Good size ship, 2,000+ guests. Took Norwegian shore excursions, which ran smoothly and were as advertised. Any delays or issues w/shore excursions were because of crew or staff. We ran late several times and ship waited for us. Overall, would recommend.
Pros: Multiple ports, good food, activities, entertainment, ship size
Cons: None to speak of

We’ve been on several NCL cruises and this was the best. (11 day southern Caribbean). San Juan is a great starting point and we stayed at a B&B for two nights. Ship is in fine shape and crew was outstanding. Entertainment was top notch, food was great, service was first rate. Much more personal attention and fun than a mega ship. Excursions were very good with two caveats: 1) if you scuba dive, book your own dives through local shops. We used VIP diving in Bonaire and it was fantastic. 2) Do not go on the horseback riding at the beach excursion in St. Maarten—NCL should drop this one. We will definitely do this cruise again!
Pros: Ship, crew, food, entertainment, ports, excursions, easy on and off
Cons: We didn’t get double NCL points when booking.
