Dawn Class review covers: Norwegian Dawn, Norwegian Star

Favorites

Second to None: Other ships might have comedy shows, but on these you can look forward to performances by Second City, Chicago's incomparable improvisation artists. Shows are scheduled in the theater as well as in more intimate nightclub settings. Passengers can even get a behind-the-scenes look at the shows during an improv workshop.

Best Place to Escape the Crowds: Try either ship's library. On these ships, it's tucked away inside with no view, but the writing and reading room is a good place to gaze at the sea if your book doesn't hold your attention.

Best Splurge: Three-bedroom Garden Villas are among the largest suites at sea. We love the private whirlpools and outdoor patios for al fresco dining.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: The sophisticated Star Bar overlooking the pool reminds us of a favorite New York piano lounge with its moody lighting.
