The Dawn is a great smaller ship. There is loads of things to do. If you are looking for a cruise that is closer to a smaller ship than a bigger one like the Epic then this ship is for you.

We all enjoyed NCL. Only a few things I would change. If you treat staff well, they will treat you well. They are trained to handle rude people. We were surrounded by University spring breakers from Georgia University. I thought they were great, only met 2 rude young people. One screaming at his girlfriend, another trying to pick a fight in front of me. Wonder how he makes out in the real world? This is my 14th cruise. Always amazes me how well people an behave. I'm sure security are around the ship, we just don't see the. The ship shows were also great. Amazing talent, dancers, singers. They must realize how impressed we are with their talent, they are a lot younger than us, that's why they are jumping around, not me.

Relaxing Getaway Cruise
Mar 16th, 2020
My past cruise experiences were better than this NCL trip to the western Caribbean. I would choose a different cruise line next time for a better ship layout, more formal dining experience, and better shore excursion.
