We got accepted this week at minimum bid for a 2 bedroom suite from a balcony. Got the email 2 1/2 weeks before cruise

Its random. No way of knowing which way they will dock.

When you book reservations online they will ask for a credit card but will not charge your account until the day you go to the restaurant. If you want to book the 2 free dinners as Platinum members call the NCL customer service and they will book them for you without using any credit card. We did this last month and worked out fine. Both paid and free reservations appeared on our vacation summary we printed before we left for the cruise.

We stayed at the Edgewater Hotel. Beautiful location.

Its right on the water and next to some of the piers. Depending on the pier you could possibly walk in under 5 minutes.

Walk offs started around 8AM in Boston last week.

The ship docks in different positions on a random basis so you never have an idea which way your cabin will face. Either way you get a very nice view.

When we were on the Dawn in June they had a small breakfast buffet set up in the Blue Lagoon across from Maderno. Never used it but heard people say it was decent.

We booked in late June for an August cruise and we were told that when selecting the UBP we were required to pay the estimated 18% gratuity with final payment. For our 7 day cruise it came to $168 according to NCL

Book when you get on board. They will leave coupons in your cabin to bring with you when you dine.

Used to be a men's room like that on the Dawn, but gone now.

Menus are 90% the same. We found 1 or 2 items that differred between the 2

Have dined there numerous times on the Dawn and always had a great meal

We order coffee and danish each morning.
