Norwegian Dawn is the third NCL ship built to provide her passengers a "freestyle cruising" experience. This is much more than just open-seated dinners "freestyle" on this Norwegian cruise ship means also that it is you who decide what to do and how to do. The fitness center works on 24/7 basis, the spa is open until 11 pm and restaurants hours are almost just as long.
Launched in 2002, Norwegian Dawn is the third ship of its class, but there are many differences between her and her sister ships, mostly because NCL decided to modify the ship to make it better basing on the previous experiences with her predecessors. This cruise ship constructed by NCL is quite large, with 92,250 tons of tonnage, the length of 965 ft. and 15 passengers' decks. She can accommodate up to 2,240 passengers.
Norwegian Dawn has ten restaurants – a lot even for a ship this size. Due to their number and the fact that there are no assigned seats, dining is a marvelous experience. The only limitation is the fact that you have to be seated for a dinner before 10.30 pm (a drawback for South Europeans, but not for Americans). The service is exquisite, partially due to its professionalism and partially due to the fact that waiters don t have to attend 1,000 passengers at the same time.
The cabins are all-high quality with excellent interior design (though the bright colors might become grayline tours new orleans tiresome after some time). All cabins are equipped with TV, a mini-fridge and (a nice touch), a coffee-maker. The only problem is the lack of 110-volt plug near the desk – ask your steward for an adapter. One word of warning: the beds aboard NCL Dawn are rock-hard!
Norwegian Dawn features a lot of entertainments, from production shows to live music concerts, but it s the art auctions you must not miss. The feeling during an auction is beyond words – you have to try it. Just make sure you won t spend everything for a single item, never mind how interesting.
