Norwegian Cruise Line Norwegian Dawn

General Safety (10.00)

On embarkation day, the crew performs a safety drill. Participation is mandatory. Passengers are shown where to go in case of an emergency, how to put on a life vest, and how to recognize the alarm’s sound. It’s a lot like the emergency drill on a plane, but with a lot more people.

There are about 20 lifeboats fixed above the promenade, as well as smaller, inflatable ones. All rooms are equipped with at least one life vest per person, stored in the closet.

Clinics

A medical clinic is located on deck four, the lowest passenger deck of the Dawn. When the ship was rocked by a storm on our second cruise day, leaving some passengers feeling ill, it turned out to be a very busy day for the clinic, and they kept up with the added traffic just fine.

Smoking Regulations

Smoking is allowed in cabins, on cabin balconies, in the ship’s casino, along the promenade deck and at the pool bar. The only public place inside the ship other than the casino where smoking is allowed is the Havana Lounge.
