Review summary

Norwegian changed our itineraries at the last second when were heading out to London. They cancelled two counties but without saying much and gave us any compensations. We had bought train tickets to Berlin ahead of time. We would not buy them if they had told us earlier. I would not recommend cruise with them in the future.

Ship tip

Do not take Norwegian Dawn. It is old ship and the cruise services seem cheap and low end.

We all hate itinerary changes and they occur on all the ships for different reasons. Sorry it was so disappointing for your vacation.

Sadly, itineraries change on all cruise lines with little to no notice
