Trouble on NCL Dawn in Africa

Review for a Africa Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

There is something definitely wrong on this ship. I got a stomach virus after 3 days of sailing and was put in isolation. After taking my medicine, I barely are for the subsequent 3 days. And, I got the bug, again. I traced my problem to a common denominator: Caesar Salad. The Captain ordered that crews must serve passengers in the buffet area. We aren't even allowed to get water by ourselves. ...

Did Norwegian know where we going?

I was disappointed with this cruise. I think NCL had a chance to make it something special but chose not to. We had only sailed on Norwegian once before and had not particularly enjoyed it but the itinerary that NCL originally offered with stops in West Africa, Cape Verde and Morocco was so unusual and interesting that we decided to give Norwegian another go. The first disappointment was that ...

Just returned from a cruise on Norwegian Dawn around South Africa. We had notification before leaving that we would not be visiting Ludderitz in Namibia, and the time in Durban would be reduced to 4 hours. We had 3 consecutive days at sea, and another two individual days at sea. At Richards Bay we were docked at a coal processing plant. Nowhere to go, and we were charged $10 to get a shuttle bus ...

I wish I would’ve googled this ship before we booked, but I guess I gotta learn somehow. This was our first cruise with Norwegian and everyone was ranting and raving about how great everything is. The only thing they had going for them was embarkment and disembarking, that was super easy as long as you know what you are doing. Our room had a hull balcony, which is fine because I knew what those ...

We booked this back-to-back (31 day) cruise over a year ago. The itinerary took us to ports we’d never been before - Madagascar, Mauritius, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai - and we’d had such a wonderful experience on the Moon a year ago that we were looking forward to a repeat, which of course did not happen. This was our 63rd cruise, but only our 3rd - and most likely our last - on Silversea. Our ...

We chose NCL and this ship because of the itinerary and we wanted to explore more of South Africa. Embarkation was smooth. Collected cruise cards on the ship- all very convenient. The food in the garden buffet- quite basic and a very scant choice at breakfast. The food in the compimrntary Venetian restaurant was hit and miss. The first time, very small portions. Bread wasn’t offered, ...

I would like to add my review of this shockingly disorganized NCL cruise to South Africa. We booked this cruise for the itenerary and a once in a lifetime African adventure! The service, entertainment, bars, and dining were acceptable and quite enjoyable. However the following comments are examples of how this cruise was such an overall disappointment. The embarkation was completely ...

We are experienced and mature cruising couple who choose our cruises based on the location and ports we want to visit, and we like to get away from the Scottish winter to get some heat and sunshine. Of the options available to visit Southern Africa and Madagascar, the NCL cruise offered the best variety of locations on what looked like an exciting itinerary. We had only cruised with NCL once ...

Having had a wonderful cruise previously with NCL we booked another cruise. Service and food were excellent and all members of staff went out of their way to be helpful, once we had embarked. Embarkation was a total shambles, exacerbated by failing to assist my husband, a disabled passenger. We had booked special assistance but this was denied. Passengers in the higher class of accommodation ...

I’m onboard now and the service has declined dramatically! Lots of new staff with attitudes and 3 star service. Rooms are outdated and in desperate need of a renovation. Stains on carpets and drapes . Bathroom still has a musty curtain and room temperature can not be fixed as they were here twice . The staff questions everything. Order room service for breakfast no cutlery I call they say “are ...
