Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
Good Day fellow readers, for the past 6 months I have idled away the hours reading the reviews on the Star as I was working, and have come to the conclusion that all the complaints are of those who have expectations that could not possibly be met or took way too long of a cruise.
Background
I am a 40 year old male married for 10 years to my lovely wife with one 7 year old son. My wife and I have been on multiple cruises on other lines including Carnival and Royal Caribbean. This was the first 7 day trip we have had time to sail on and the first of any type of cruise for my son. We live in Northern Nevada and chose to drive down to LA as it was more convenient for us. I did not prepay for anything or reserve tours or restaurants as I like to be flexible on vacations.
Cabin Review
We had a family balcony cabin on Deck 9 port side aft (9686). I never heard any neighbors from any side of my cabin. The balcony had 2 chairs and a table, and was very private. I could look over the side and see all the way down to water and up to the navigator bridge on the side of the ship. Port side was facing the arch in Cabo, Stone Island in Mazatlan, and the dock in Puerto Vallarta. The bathroom had plastic doors for the toilet and shower. The toilet was a bit cramped if you had the door closed. Plenty of storage space for suitcases and clothes. The connecting door was locked and never caused an issue. Last the TV was a flat screen with a great variety of sitcoms and new movies. There were some repeats but I never failed to find something new to watch. Also ESPN world, Fox News, and MSNBC were on in addition to the information channels and bridge cam. You could feel the ship move in this cabin but not as bad in the back of the ship or front. I heard complaints of creaking and there was some that you could hear, but catch a clue - you are on a ship expect some noises.
