Norwegian Cruise Line Norwegian Dawn

Cabin Layout

The oceanview rooms are smallish and most of the room is taken by the queen-size bed. On the right side is the tiny bathroom, and on the left a closet and storage space. Over the bed is a port hole window. At the end of the closet is a little vanity with mirror, along with the only 110-volt plug in the room.

Bedroom

The queen size bed is very comfortable. A larger table with chair is in one corner. As on many cruise ships, the TV offers a relatively limited choice of stations including a couple movie channels, several news channels and several channels showing Norwegian Cruise Line-related information (including a “Captain’s Log” with basic ship information, a channel showing the view from a bow camera and a channel listing the day’s activities). On the left side of the bed is a simple night stand.

One immediately noticeable problem with the room is its lack of 110-volt wall plugs. We found just one, which means travelers with cell phones, computers and other electronics will have to juggle their machines to keep them charged. Another problem we see is the size of the closet, which we feel is big enough for one or two people but could be a stretch if three people are sharing a single room.

Bathroom

The tiny bathroom has just enough space for one person. Sink and mirror are in the middle, with the toilet on the right and the shower on the left. Wet clothes can be hung up on the line in the shower. Handles to help passengers move around, are placed strategically all over the bathroom.

Closets & Storage

The closet is basically a big unit with several shelves, drawers and storage. It is also the place to look in case of an emergency, because this is where the life vests are. Underneath them is a little safe. The closet itself is pretty spacious, has plenty of hangers and a built in shelf, but we don’t think it is big enough for three passengers.

In the closet, above the drawers, is a coffee machine and the mini bar with soda, beer, and wine.
