Norwegian Star Reviews

Summary:  Third time on the Star. Food was just OK..I did pay the $7xx for the Drink Package because I do not drink Sodas. I would like to have a choice of Wine, Liquor and Special Coffees, but was advised that it was not possible. Port stops were great. I had private tours for Dubrovnik, Split, Olympia and Athens, all excellent tours. I took the ship excursion at Kotor. Never again! The Tour Guide Radios were useless. I complained and received only $9.00 Credit for a $70 Tour. My biggest complaint is the position of my Mini-Suite! The floor above my room on Deck 11 was the end of the pool area. All night there was someone rolling carts, running, dragging of furniture, etc. Of course, my complaints went no where since the front desk doesn't care. The service in the Main Restaurants was ok. The several times my large group went the Sheehan's for lunch or dinner, the server forgot about us. I am still trying to get the Double Point Latitude Promo from this cruise. It is listed on my Invoice, but I was only given 7 points instead of 14. Trying to decide is this will remain my Cruiseline of Choice.

Summary:  First time cruisers, we had high expectations and all were exceeded. From start to finish we felt very well looked after. The food was exceptional, especially dinner in Versailles restaurant where we had the best steak ever. Show time was very professional. All staff were very friendly and eager to help. Would highly recommend NCL and can't wait to sail again..

Summary:  First time cruisers ( won't be the last now), very impressed especially with the amazingly friendly staff. Trip was made even more special by the brilliant weather and sea conditions. Only downsides were we could have done with a bit more time in Helsinki & Stockholm and had an adults only pool rather than pay extra to use the spa, other than that we had an amazing experience. Special thanks to Captain Mathias and all the crew/staff for going the extra mile.

Summary:  I liked the ship, We were lucky smooth seas, every day I did swim but there was not enough of them. The food was good except I would have liked more fresh fish, I was using the buffet only because I had some tooth trouble , also I was a solo traveller. The line's name confused me and I had a lot of euro expecting to use them on board. It would be helpful of agents to make it clear what is used. The value is very good never the less. Music and singers we too modern for me too loud singers seemed to shout, I think it is modern. I missed t and did not have any classical or soothing music . at least I did not find any There were a lot days at sea, if possible there should have been less. I avoided no fly to avoid going from UK. Perhaps a longer cruise would have more stops. The TV showing progress sped etc was nice to see. The shows were bright and quite good. More films could have been shown. One could eat and eat,and eat. I have only sailed on MSC before but as an small boat sailor 60 years 39 tons max. Not 77000 I think she was, life is so different, but going ashore was as good as ever. I shall go again.

Summary:  Overall very nice, well appointed and comfortable ship. Cabin selection however was v poor and we had to change cabins after two days. We were given a cabin very near to the ships maintenance workshop and the noise was unbearable. Food in the Market Cafe was excellent, although the quality of the food in the main dining rooms was poor; we only ate there three times and each time we had cause to complain. Entertainment was very good, a couple of the acts were a bit average but that's being very picky. Overall experience was good. Good for families as there's quite a lot for children.

Summary:  Just completed a cruise on Norwegian Star. This was my first cruise with NCL since one on "Norway" a long time before freestyle cruising was introduced. This, I found, was unsuitable for a solo/single cruiser like me.With just three exceptions I found myself eating alone despite telling the maitre d that I was happy to share a table at every meal. There was a very large number of tables for two. Very few large tables and these were clearly allocated to parties who already were known to each other. Although there were meetings for solo/ singles and for Friends of Dorothy every day in the programme, these attracted neither crew nor passengers. I suspect NCL recognise this as a problem of freestyle cruising for solos and is why they apparently offer passengers in their studio cabins on Norwegian Epic a venue to meet. Otherwise the ship and cruise was fine.

Summary:  This ship and cruise was a refreshing surprise. Freestyle cruising on this type of cruise - Alaska - is ideal as you are so busy during the port stopovers. The crew were lovely. Eating options were good, Aqua and Versailles restaurants where you are shown to table each time you eat, breakfast or evening meal. Great to know you can eat when you like. We enjoyed Blue Lagoon Cafe, it is very casual and has a choice of food and although minimal was OK by us. We booked for 2 alternative meals where you pay extra and all was good. Every port was fun - we would go on Norwegian Cruise again. Our ages were 65-70.

Summary:  the best cruise ever. the crew was friendly and always helping. always smiling. the entertainment was non stop. the cruise basically shut down at like 1 am, but other than that it was an amazing cruise.
