Just back from Alaska on the NCL Star - A very nice ship which appeared to be clean and well-maintained overall.
EMBARKATION: We were bussed from the airport hotel to the port at about 12:30. For some reason the transfer company did not have our name on their list, but after reviewing our confirmation took us anyway. Bus was full. The line in the terminal was pretty long, but moved quickly because they had a lot of agents on duty. We were in our room by 1:30 pm.
CABIN: We had a balcony cabin on deck 10. The room was somewhat smaller than I have experienced on some other ships of the same vintage, but it was ok for a week. Balcony was small also. The bed was pretty hard and lumpy; the sleeper sofa appeared to be only wide enough for one other adult or perhaps two small children. Shower and bathroom facilities were pretty typical, but only liquid soap was provided in the shower - not my favorite. Refrigerator was a bit small. Cabin was equipped with hair dryer as well as a coffee maker - very nice.
