phoenix1181 Posted July 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2018 WCVB in Boston just showed a news item about a family just off the Dawn who encountered a bed bug problem. Photos clearly showed multiple bites on the passengers. I didn't catch the cabin number other than it was a cabin on deck 8. NCL was contacted but only stated they would look into the allegations. I hope they get this cleared up before our October cruise. We're not on deck 8 but if they can survive the laundry, no one is safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted July 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Problem with this is: they should have seen it a few days in and looked for them and gotten help from hotel management. They could have brought them with them. If not, there would be problems all over the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsuej Posted July 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Saw that report too. Freaks me out. I can't remember the cabin either but it was Deck 8. They did notice blood spots on the sheets every day and have welts all over their legs that a dr. confirmed as bed bug bites. Yuck. Could have been brought on by the people that vacated that cabin.

phoenix1181 Posted July 9, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Doesn't sound like they said or did anything while on the cruise but they're currently being treated by a doctor and are on medication. Cabin number is 8106 Edited July 9, 2018 by phoenix1181 added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsuej Posted July 9, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 9, 2018 They were young and had no clue they were bedbugs. Thought they got bit by something else until a dr. confirmed it after they got home. Too bad they didn't say anything while on the ship. They should have notified the hotel director when they saw the blood spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheazo Posted July 10, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I am glad this got reported now, they should have plenty of time to inspect and and heat blast any of the rooms they find any evidence of bed bugs. I am on this ship two Fridays from now. :evilsmile: http://www.wcvb.com/article/bed-bugs-bite-passengers-on-norwegian-dawn-cruise-from-boston-to-bermuda/22096424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaportMike Posted July 10, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think the real issue that warrants further investigation is how the *#%? did they pay over $5000 for an obstructed ocean view on the Dawn?? My upcoming Bliss Balcony wasn’t near that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted July 10, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Is it for sure it was bed bugs and not sand flea bites?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upcoming Bliss Balcony wasn’t near that! Even if you count the extra people in the cabin it does not add up to $5000. Perhaps they are counting all family members in all cabins they booked? My upcoming spa balcony on the Getaway was not close to this amount either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked an OS for the two of us for March 2019 and it was a little over 6500 before DSC and taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
