Norwegian Star Review
Rating by category
Additional details
First time cruising with NCL. The Baltic capitals were sensational and the Norwegian Star far exceeded my expectations - we very much enjoyed this cruise on the Star.
I was under the impression that NCL was a lower-tier cruise line. So, my expectation for this cruise was not much more than to have a reliable ferry on a great Baltic Sea itinerary. I enjoyed previous cruises with Holland (Alaska, balcony) and also Disney (Eastern Caribbean, balcony), but, overall, I think I enjoyed this cruise on the Star more - the weather was perfect, Freestyle Dining is so convenient, the food quality was adequate and the ports were fantastic.
Suggested improvements: 1. An additional day in Stockholm, Sweden; 2. Add a port-stop in Oslo, Norway; 3. A more exciting main dining room menu; and, 4. Baltic cultural and history enrichment lectures.
Cabin Review
Great for two people. One queen bed that could be separated into two twins for more floor space. There was an additional pull-out bed under one twin bed and a pull-down bunk on the wall.Lots of storage. Bathroom was a good size. Flat screen TV with good channels.
