Alright so, im new here and was just wondering if anyone happened to be going on the Norwegian Dawn out of NYC to Bermuda on August 10th. Also, ive been on royal caribbean and princess before and was just wondering how these lines compare to NCL.
The dawn was fun when i went on it, the service and food is comparable to princess, but i would say princess does it better and you don't feel like you're getting nickel and dimed as much on princess.
The dawn is a nice ship though, the teen club when i went it was great but on another norwegian ship it was terrible so i guess its luck of the draw.

I cannot agree more about the nickle and diming but i did find the food and service in the main dining room much better on princess. The only really good food that stood out on this cruise was the food we ate in the specialty restaurants with a 15 dollar pp surcharge. Pretty lame considering we had paid for a balcony stateroom. Teen place was ok, never really hung out there, just met people around the ship. From now on i think we're going to be sticking with RCI, Princess, and X over here.
