Incidents
An incident attracted media attention on April 16, 2005, when the Norwegian Dawn was hit by three successive waves (known as the " Three Sisters ") on the way back from the Bahamas to New York on the Georgia coast . The third wave, which eyewitness reports said was 70 feet (21 meters) high, wreaked havoc on the 9th and 10th upper decks. It smashed windows, tore whirlpools overboard and flooded 62 cabins. Four passengers suffered minor injuries. The shipping company later assured that the incident never endangered safety on board.
On November 27, 2009, Norwegian Dawn had to interrupt the return trip to Miami due to propulsion problems. After almost six hours of lack of electrical energy and propulsion power, the ship was finally able to call at Puerto Rico at a greatly reduced speed . From there all passengers were flown back to Miami.
On May 19, 2015, Norwegian Dawn ran aground off the British Bermuda Islands due to propulsion problems. After 4.5 hours the ship could be freed from the reef. Subsequent examinations by divers found that the hull was not damaged.
