There's the excitement of a new port most every day (and the lovely relaxation of a couple of days at sea) and a sense of camaraderie that comes from traveling en masse with the same group of people for the whole voyage. And yet there's a wonderful atmosphere of casual flexibility, emanating in a large part from the ship's much ballyhooed selection of ten restaurants (some traditional cruise-style, others most decidedly anything but). It's this strategy, offering the freedom of choosing when, where and with whom one dines, that sets a tone here.

While Norwegian Dawn is the third in the "Freestyle Cruising" brigade -- following Norwegian Sun and a sister ship, design-wise, to Norwegian Star -- it's by no means identical. The cruise line has tweaked and honed some of the original concepts based both on experience and on passenger feedback.
Ultimately, the atmosphere on this whimsically decorated and gorgeous ship -- using as its decorating scheme the bright, primary colors of Impressionism -- dictates the experience: fun, easy-going, and relaxing, a ship that is designed to please a wide variety of travelers and most certainly one that attracts first-time cruisers who heretofore had found traditional sea-going regimentation a drag.
