  1. I know its 558 days until we sail, but we are so excited. We booked the Garden Villa to celebrate 2 big birthdays...My sister is turning 60 next Sept and my husband will be turning 70 while we are on-board. Can't wait to enjoy 7 wonderful days in our private villa! Any suggestions on what we should not miss, please let me know!

  2. I just wanted to post a quick note about our sailing on the Dawn 4/13-4/20/2014. We were a group of 13 and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed meeting everyone at the CruiseCritic gathering which was attended by all of the dept heads and captain. Leonie Veith, Group Services went out of her way to make our gathering so nice! Myself and my fiance are both Platinum Latitude Members and we enjoy the extra perks that gets us. John D'souza our Concierge, was the best Concierge we have ever expierenced while on-board any ships not just NCL! Thank you again for going above and beyond to helping us with our group! We ate in both of the restaurants, and I have to say, we really enjoyed the Aqua Restaurant the food was good and the service was great. Our group also enjoyed going to LaCucina Restaurant one night, and the food and the service couldn't have been better.

     

    Thank you everyone on-board the Dawn for making our cruise so enjoyable. I can't wait to sail with you again!

  3. This is suppose to be a fun place to look up information and have a good time...I don't expect to have anyone from NCL to really look at this and grant us a phone call! I'm sorry if I sounded ungrateful for our previous luck on the Jade...You can bet I won't post anything on this sight again!

  4. I really wish I could get us all together! We are a group of 13 sailing on the Dawn April 13, 2014 out of Tampa..we made the mistake of booking at different times and with different agents....(won't do that again). We are all booked in balcony cabins..but alll over the ship. I called our TA that booked 3 of the cabins to see if they could get us all together (there is a group of family balconys all in a row)...we were even willing to pay a extra to move...but was told we would lose our perks (obc and free dinners and such) if we moved....This is my 13th cruise with NCL, and I know its our fault...but it would have been so nice to be close to each other....I guess we should have planned this better!

  5. We now have 13 people sailing with us...all balcony cabins...but all over the ship! Maybe the upgrade fairy will look upon our little group, and try to get us all in row...all balcony, or mini-suites...etc! Guess next time, we'll wait until everyone is ready to book, and book all at once...so we can try to be closer together! Please upgrade fairy...help us out...(on cruise April 13-20, 2014 on the Dawn!

  6. I liked it. There is a pic in my review in my signature.

     

    Thank you for the sharing your review and picture of the enclosed balcony! I'm a lot less stressed about it! (of course if the upgrade fairy seems fit to offer us an upgrade, I would be ok with that also! LOL!)

  7. Here is a picture that should give you an idea of what to expect:

     

    The first one is of the Dawn...the "hull balconies" are like the one with the red circle around it whereas the regular balconies are shown one deck up and to the left. The second one is of a hull balcony on the Pearl, looking out from the cabin.

     

    Thanks for the pictures! That helps alot!

  8. We are booked on the Dawn 4/13/2014...we have 11 going right now (one 14 year old)

    We sailed on the Dawn last year, and loved it...the food was great, the staff were wonderful and the other passengers were alot of fun....I would cruise alot more if I had the money...LOL!

  9. I used to travel with my mom who didn't get around very well...We used to get her a scooter from Scoot-around...very reasonable...they will deliver it to the ship, and make things easier for her...

     

    As for ports...

    In Roatan,

    We booked with Victor Brodden tours...(we have used him in the past, and have booked with him for our upcoming cruise in April. He can book what ever type of excursion you would like...private, join another group..etc! As for the Cameo factory that is also in Roatan...and yes they are beautiful, and Victor can add that to your excursion!

     

    I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me at my email if you have any other questions!

  10. We sailed on NCL Sun back in 2011, and wasn't told it was an rock and roll oldies cruise..

    They closed one of the bars to the other passengers and one night they took over the theater, and the pool area one day at sea for a beach music party! We just happened to have booked above the bar they closed for them, and the music went on every night until 2 or 3 in the morning...we asked to be moved, didn't happen....we then asked if since we had to listen to it thru the floor if we could go dance one night...of course we were turned away...

     

    Now before I book any cruise, I ask if there are any big group or theme event!
