Like a previous reviewer, my husband and I were also aboard Norwegian Star for a 14-day Panama Canal cruise. Unlike that reviewer, we had a wonderful time.

We had a mid-ship balcony cabin on Deck 10 (cabin 10110). Great location, quiet all the time (cabins above and below). Mid-ship means less ship movement. We get motion sickness easily, but despite being in moderately rough seas the last 3 days of the cruise, we never had a problem.

As for lost luggage, we only take carry-on. For 14 days? Oh yes. There are only 2 types of luggage--Carry-on and Lost. We attended a Q&A session on Day 4 with various crew heads of departments. There were 18 people on this cruise with no luggage, all of it held up or diverted by the airlines. Was NCL supposed to delay departure until all of that luggage showed up? No. You want to avoid lost luggage? Take carry-on. Read more
