I was on the Star the first week of April. I will say that I am a fan of NCL and we once again had a great time. We are a family of four with kids ages 4 and 7. This was our first cruise with both kids.

We had one of the four new balcony suites (12010) on deck 12 forward and it was great. We did not use the balcony as much as we thought because the huge floor to ceiling windows made for such a great view and the sofa was good for lounging. In fact, I would be willing to book one of the new family suites that do not have a balcony but have more space and more huge windows. The bathrooms in the new suites are great and have a lot of space. We love Cagney's breakfast and lunch for suite guests. That is a great perk but they do need more variety of lunch items.

The kids loved the Kid's Crew activities and did not want to leave. We used the Kids' Crew every day. Next time I will probably pay extra to leave them in for a few hours during port stops so that I can go diving. The kids also loved the kid's pool/slides on 12 aft. This was a Spring Break cruise and there were 900 kids on board. We knew the kid's areas were going to be crowded but found it was manageable. I did have to be "that dad" and stop the older (and apparently unsupervised) kids from running up the slides backwards when my kids were sliding down. NCL should probably assign a lifeguard to that area during peak times on Spring Break cruises.
