Norwegian Dawn cruise Day 1

Day one of my Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian cruise line cruise. This cruise started in New york then went to Halifax & Saint John Canada, then Bar Harbor maine, Boston, Newport then back to New York. Day one of the cruise.

Hey everyone,

Im back from my cruise on the Norwegian Dawn. The cruise was a blast even with the crappy weather for the past few days. My mom, her friend Tom and myself were going on this cruise because it was a cheap week vacation that just happened to be over my 21st birthday. What better way to celebrate it then on a NCL cruise.

Last Sunday we flew into Newarks airport. After collecting our bags we took a bus service that brings you to Grand Central Station for $15 each. The bus is a large charter bus and I think only two other people were on this 50 seat bus besides us. The bus ride was nice and relaxing, easy to take in all the sighs as we made our way to Manhattan. We played whoever spots the ship first wins.

Once we arrived at Grand Central we met with Toms son and we went to this diner called Comfort food. We had a quick breakfast then decided to walk over to the ship. This was the best decision we made that day. Because we took the 15 minute walk we avoided all the traffic at the pier (three ships total that day). Once we arrived at our dock we went straight through security and check in. Literally 15 minutes later we were on the ship drinking our Champagne.

We boarded around noon so cabins were still not ready. We headed over to Dazzles where they had a luggage valet service thats offered free of charge. This was very convenient. After we decided to walk around before going to lunch. We started at the top and worked our way down. This was Mom and Toms second time on the Dawn and my third so we already knew the ship. One nice thing we enjoyed is the different specialty restaurants were offering free samples of their menu items on embarkation day. After walking around we headed towards Venetian for lunch. On my last cruises they really pushed you to go to the Garden Café buffet but today they advertised both lunch options.

Oh one more thing... When you work as crew can you get a discount on sailing with that line? So like if you worked there could you get a discount on your cruise fair if you wanted to cruise with that line as a regular passenger? thanks!

Hey James I have just a few questions for ya :-) Was this in the fall? because I read that the Norwegian Dawn only sails from NYC to Canada in October, and my family of three wants to book a mid-ship Balcony stateroom that accomodates 3, for the kind of cruise that you were on in this vid (Nyc to Canada) how much would that stateroom cost?
