Dawn Owner Suite vs Spirit Owner Suite

[Billy31]

Can anyone compare the two owners suites for me? I have stayed on the Dawn in 10006 and I am considering a cruise on the Spirit in one of their Owners Suites. From the website it does not seem to be as nice.

Doesn't seem to be as nice on the Spirit. Thanks for the reply.

I was lucky enough to stay in 9006 and 10006 on the Dawn and also in the AB suite on the Spirit 10002. If you liked those suite on the Dawn, book the AB on the Spirit. When the ship was Superstar Leo, these were Owners Suites. Layout is similar to the Owners Suite on the Dawn with the front and side balconies (but smaller on the Spirit - no table on the side balcony and a smaller front balcony - narrrow). That front corner is my favorite spot. I'm sure you will love it.

Thank you so much for that reply, that really clears things up. I love the owners suites and will never be able to stay in anything less.

I would prefer the aft facing balcony that the AA suite on the Spirit has over a front facing balcony that the AA suite of the Dawn. To each their own preferences. Have a great cruise on whichever ship you choose.

[Billy31]

Yes, I would have to agree with you. I have not yet been on the Spirit but I will say that the front Balcony on the Dawn was mostly useless while we were at sea. An Aft facing balcony would definately be a plus. Luckily there was also a side deck or I would not have been happy.

We have stayed in Dawn's OS #10506 and in Spirit's OS #9208 and thoroughly enjoyed both. The Spirit is unique...not like the other NCL ships....built for the Asian cruising market...thus everything is a tad more compact.

 

The Spirit's Owner's Suites do have a few extra pluses over the AB front suites....in the OS there is a powder room and an elegant separate dining room and the master bath is huge with a super shower. The decor is beautiful Oriental....there is a refrigerator and large bar area. We ended up with two great butlers and had two warm and friendly room stewards.

 

In August 2005 when we sailed on Spirit, there was no in-suite computer which was kind of a bummer having been spoiled by having one on the Dawn.

 

Just keep in mind that the Spirit is very, very nice but it is different from the Dawn, Star and Jewel!

Thanks for the reply, what other ships have comparable suites to the Owners Suites on the dawn. Separate bedroom is a must have for us.

[jeffpaddlehawaii]

We have been on the Dawn, Spirit and Jewel in Owner's Suites all of which have separate bedrooms with the additional TV's and powder rooms. We are booked on the Pearl for April, and the OS's are exactly the same as on Dawn and Jewel. The Spirit's two Owner's Suites do have separate bedrooms...it is just that these suites have a total different configeration and are aft.

 

Hope this helped!!!

So far I have to say...the Spirit is my favourite ship in the fleet! I have sailed in the GV on the Dawn and Jewel and liked my aft Suite on the Spirit actually better. The ship is very, very elegant and has a excellent crew! If I would have a choice...I would rather do the Spirit then the Dawn!

[Billy31]

One more stupid question. Do the Owner Suites on the Spirit have televisions in the bedrooms? I didn't see one in the virtual tour on the NCL website.

[sclauss]

Small one. Not like on the Dawn but it's fine for watching from bed.

[Billy31]

I am curious to see what other people have been tipping the Butler and Concierge after a 7 night stay in an owner suite.

 

Any info?
