I would strongly suggest that you read reviews before you sail, then you decide.

I have been on the NCL Dawn out of NY to the Bahamas in 2004. It was the best trip of my life. 7 days, perfect weather, beautiful ship.

I remember our cruise director Paul and his sidekick Mike. I also remember the flamenco guitarist, Fabio Zinni.

I didn't make friends with any crew members but the people on the ship were very nice and friendly. I have read reviews about the Dawn since then and it seems like it might have changed for the worst, which is sad because everyone that worked on that cruise ship said hi to you as you walked by.

I like the freestyle cruising. I don't like schedules. NCL works for me!

I went to Alaska this June (2006), but I was on the Norwegian Star . The crew was friendly and we definetely made friends with them, but not really good friends.

I know this probably doesn't answer your question. In 8 years of travel I have had so many reservation problems with them I personally tend to shy away from NCL. I think they have some very nice ships yes, but there are several other cruise lines/ships out there that we as agents just don't encounter as many problems with as opposed to NCL.

I have heard this also from several agents in the industry and these are seasoned agents like myself. So if you hear it so much then you do tend to be a bit Leary and it isn't usually a very good sign. In fact NCL over the years is the one line many agents seem to agree with. I have never heard an agent say "I love NCL". Which all agents have there favorites it seems. So if that tells you anything.....

I'm glad to hear that you had a good experience with NCL to Alaska. Again I'm not trying to say that all cruises with them aren't good, by no means is that true. The lines I use often for Alaska are RCCL, Holland and Princess depending on your age group and what you are expecting of the cruise/cruisetour.

In answer to your question though I have not had much experience with this particular ship. If I do use NCL it tends to be more for Hawaii because of there itineraries are pretty good.

If there is anything I can do to assist you with travel arrangements feel free to email me and I can give you my contact information.

Ms; been on several NCL cruises. Mostly to Alaska. You will meet people from all over. I still Talk to 5 people from the cruise weekly and have been to their homes. Where ever you are going enjoy and take a small note book for addresses. Hope you have a great time.

No, but I know their reputation. Excellent food, nice accomodation, interesting ports, and classic ships. The S.S. Norway, the flagship, is a favorite of mine, for she used to be the French Line's Steam Turbine Flagship S.S. France. Also the NCL is planning to restore another classic cruiser, the S.S. United States, the fastest ship in the world, to full operating status, including leaving it on steam power. The Golden Age of steam powered ocean liners may soon be coming back.

If that's the whole question, then no, no one ever went on a NCL cruise, they send the ship out empty.
