BoulderCruisers
Enjoy your cruise and keep a positive attitude. Don’t get involved in other people’s drama. most important, remember this is Africa with lots of unexplored ports.

Take a travel kettle

Don’t! Captain may be an idiot.
JustinHilton
Don't do it. waste of time and money
rockaway
Book excursions and not necessarily through NCL. We saved a lot of money by booking independently in Madagascar through Frigo and BMT (Bruno Madagascar Tours)
ExperiencedTrav
Avoid this ship.

Older and smaller ship which we did for the great itinerary! Needs to go into dry dock! Just enjoy yourself and make the best of it

Choose another cruise line. Norwegian are cutting costs, ports without facilities, poor quality food and entertainment. One port we docked in a coal port, Richard's BY
lakieshawfitpro
Don’t!
AfricanCruise
Dont get off at Richard Bay in SA if port is coal deposits. Expect disorganized departure at Cape Town and long queues for embarkation
DawnMont
Perfect sized ship if you're looking for smaller crowds. Maybe it's my namesake but I love the Dawn!
DawnMont
Perfect size ship. Not too crowded
bazieman
DON'T!

Choose your excursions wisely. We opted for 4 out of the 10 ports as on this itinerary, many had interesting ports you could spend hours walking around on your own steam

Bring long cables ro charge your phones, they are sparse

It's and old ship with a very strange deck layout so be prepared to have to go up and down a deck to get around some obstacles.

Learn the floorplan

Read current reviews. I read them after we got back. Definitely sums up what we experienced.
