We are regular cruisers, this cruise been our tenth one, it was most definitely the best combination of ship and ports.
The Norwegian Star lives up to its nickname "The Happy Ship". Overall the on-board experience was excellent - cabin, staff, food and entertainment which was 5-star. We felt that the service in the Aqua restaurant was rather slow and it appeared as though there were not enough staff. One thing we missed was that there was no quiet area (apart from the library or certain outside nooks) where one could relax. On other ships there was an equivalent of the Spinnaker Lounge where one could relax during the day with an ocean view and relative quiet. On the Norwegian Star the Spinnaker Lounge had no view and was occupied with other activities a lot of the time.
