Enjoyable cruise despite too many itinerary changes & less time in ports!

Review for a Africa Cruise on Norwegian Dawn

We booked this 12 day cruise to South Africa & Namibia when we found out our Israel/Egypt cruise with Celebrity wouldn't be going ahead due to the political situation there. When we booked we were going to spend only 3 days at sea with long port days in most of the ports of call including 2 full days in Namibia. Due to several itinerary changes including the last change being only a week ...

South-Africa with the NCL Dawn, good but with sloppiness

This was the second time on the Norwegian Dawn. First time was not a long time ago, in July 2023, cruise to the UK/Ireland and Scotland. The worst cruise ever! But as we were so dissatisfied of this cruise, we received money back and a voucher of 25% for next cruise. As this cruise to SouthAfrica is very expensive, it was a great moment to use the money and voucher. And fortunately, the flights ...

This South Atlantic crossing disembarked at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Most guests from US, Canada and Australia had endured the nightmare of obtaining the Brazilian visitor visa prior to the cruise. At the last moment the Brazil government postponed the visa requirement due to the mishandling of VFS Global, the Brazil government visa application agent. This was the most talked about topic amongst ...

For our first cruise embarking from a port outside the U.S. and our first cruise w/ Azamara, what an experience South Africa was! Not that we’re new to cruising. It’s just that the 25 or so cruises we’ve taken over the years haven’t been quite as memorable or immersive as this one. Our key takeaway… We really do prefer the atmosphere, service, and conviviality of smaller ship cruising, and the ...

This was our second time on the Journey, we previously had sailed a Baltic’s itinerary in 2018. We loved that itinerary, this one was not as good for us. Be aware that the ports are chosen for the safari tours you can take from the ports, not the actual ports. There is really nothing to do and most are very poor. Be sure to plan excursions! The ship is still in good shape. Our cabin was very ...

Very enjoyable cruise, but some ports of call were disappointing.

First time with Azamara. We chose the cruise as we liked the itinerary around South Africa. Unfortunately one of the key ports of Durban was cancelled about a month before we departed due to the South Africans hosting the Russian navy….. Cape Town was the highlight, and we enjoyed Maputo. We were very fortunate to have booked private tours from Richards Bay with a fantastic guide name Don ...

Service inconsistent but enjoyable itinerary - South Africa & Namibia

We chose this sailing because a) it was over Xmas and New Year and b) the itinerary. We had sailed with NCL previously and enjoyed all cruises. On this cruise there was a distinct inconsistency in service. The front desk were just appalling, as were the future cruise and excursion desks. Not sure they wanted to be there and were not well informed about their own products and services. The ...

Had booked a land trip with Safari, Capetown and Victoria Falls during the pandemic but that got cancelled. Was so amazed by the entire cruise experience. This was a surprising adventure with a mixture of cosmopolitan scapes in Capetown, Durban and Walvis Bay ports. At times felt like I was visiting the various islands in Hawaii with the various weather influences: Rainfall, Drought and just a ...

Food was good (sometimes great) though the Compass Rose is a bit large so we often ate in the smaller restaurants including the Italian (Seti Mare). You can often do walk-ins at the 'posh' restaurants. If late back from a trip they kept the lunch open after 2pm. We had 4 days of bad weather, a bit of a downer, which also meant missing a port and having 4 days at sea with little extra ...

This 26 night cruise started in Cape Town and was to end in Dubai. Sadly Corona Virus decided to intervene which resulted in the cruise missing many ports of call and a premature ending in Muscat which was not a planned port of call. Many countries refused us entry due to the fear of cruise ships being floating Petri dishes. There was a daily update from the Captain regarding our situation and ...
