Sail Date: Mar 2019
Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Well, we chose this cruise for the itinerary and having sailed 3 other NCL ships we tried the Dawn, ship is old and showing age, you feel a lot of movement with this ship. We were in a mini-suite on deck 10. The rooms are tattered, our cabin steward was terrible, left trash, no tissues, no toilet paper, had to go to the hallway and get it myself off the cart, wanted ice and he told me it would take 20 minutes. if your not tipping the bartenders up at topside every time they bring you a drink they don't come back. Nothing happening on pool deck, no BBQs, same cold dry burgers, chicken, hot dogs. Venetian and Aqua were okay, but get quite boring, buffet was poor, food always seemed cold. Crew is not a happy group like on other NCL ships, does not make you feel welcome. I will not cruise the Dawn again and may not cruise with NCL anymore.

Port Reviews

Barbados

We took our own taxi to Carlisle Bay, got off at Harbor Lights, rented 2 chairs & umbrella with a snorkel cruise for $20 per person, it was awesome, highly recommend this.

Antigua

Took a cab up to the donkey sanctuary and got to brush the donkeys, left a donation, this is run by the humane society and it felt good to give them something for all the work they do.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Took a tour of St. Kitt's with a vendor in town named Neal, he ran an open air tram car and it was a great tour of many sights of St. Kitts.
