The Worst Cruise we have never took by cindyjianghong

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

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.

Older ship, but great itinerary by Craigster1231

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

Overall had a great vacation, just wished that I had researched the ship a bit more. It is an older ship, but does look as though it has received a refresh in the carpeting. Opt for a special dining offering, as the food and experience is much better than in the main dining rooms. I will say that while this is an older ship, the staff and cleanliness were excellent. I really enjoyed all of the ports visited, but would wish that the time in port was longer.

Adventures from the Sea by Sirena86

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

I really enjoyed visiting this part of Europe and appreciated not having to worry about what I was going to eat or where I was going to stay. It's a great way to get a taste of different countries and having the comfort of yummy food on the ship and also wonderful shows after your trip into town. I love traveling with NCL and look forward to going on future cruises with them!

Norwegian has fallen! by ajimsojka

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

We did this cruise to visit the few countries we hadn't gone to in Europe. I think hiking with tacks in my shoes would have been more fulfilling. This was hands down the worst vacation I've ever had. I've gotten Giardia in Cambodia, had flights home canceled last minute in Egypt, and vacationed in an area that was technically in a civil war. Norwegian somehow made this cruise a more miserable experience. I am shouting from the highest window to all who will listen: AVOID NORWEGIAN UNTIL THEY GET THEIR HOUSE IN ORDER.

Wonderful Baltic cruise. Great itinerary. by AlexandJose

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

Cruise was great. Itinerary met what we wanted to see. It was worthy, we visited great ports overall. We were very happy with our cruise selection. Our travel consultant, Mr. Joseph Parks is the BEST. He selected as always, a very convenient balcony cabin for us, and as in previous occasions took excellent care of our cruise needs.

It was ok by jhh4097

Ship: Norwegian Dawn

We picked this cruise because it had so many different countries. We did wear ourselves out trying to make the most of it. LOL

A great cruise touching all the Baltic countries (except Russia) by NorthGaFrankB

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

The Baltics have a unique history, heard it first hand and saw places taught in grammar school. It was great! Beautiful cities, beautiful countries, would do it again! Pray this part of the world can remain as it is without outside influences.

Baltic splendor by iwolf

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

Super itinerary. Only one day at sea. Be prepared to spend much of your time off of the ship and doing a significant amount of sightseeing Food good, not outstanding. Great sized cabins.

Excellent route and nice ship. Drinks were excellent. Food very only at the specialty restaurants. Food at the garden cafe poor. Poor quality and variety.

The Dawn is showing its age by Maryallen1049

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

The itinerary of this tour was great. The ship is getting worn out, although the size is good. Food was okay, breakfast and lunch were boring after awhile. Staff is stretched thin, especially servers in the bars and pool areas. You may not see one! Overall, I was on a cruise and had a good time.

Amazing cruise by BoulderCruisers

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

Can’t wait to explore the Eastern side of Africa. As I said before, remember this is Africa and very few ships have been to these ports. Follow ship rules and advice and enjoy the adventure.

Totally disorganized management of every aspect of this cruise. Would not recommend. Got the impression that NCL could care less.

South African Cruise by lakieshawfitpro

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

For me, they did not have enough activities and the food was not good compared to other cruises that I have been on. They need to step up their game. This was my first time sailing on Norwegian and I am hoping that this cruise was not indicative of other Norwegian ships. If so, I will not be cruising Norwegian again.

This cruise placed each passenger and crew in danger due to the war in Gaza. We asked to have the $$ transferred to another cruise but this was refused. We planned this cruise mainly because of Israel, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Jordan all cancelled. by bazieman

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn

This was a very unsafe cruise and should have been cancelled. No one was happy about this cruise due to safety concerns. The front desk staff was uncaring and pretty much did not want to hear any concerns. We also had 2 nights of "black out" due to high risk Pirate areas in the Red Sea which we were not informed of prior to the cruise. UNSAFE! UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Norwegian Dawn penthouse suite w balcony an overall excellent experience, especially our cabin team, the service in restaurants and bars. The disembarking experience was a true buzzKill for an otherwise enjoyable cruise.
