Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
This was our 11th cruise - 3rd with NCL. We've cruised with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Holland America and Carnival. I picked this cruise for the itinerary and because we've enjoyed our previous 2 cruises with NCL, I was sure it would be fine.
I was pleasantly surprised by the ship and the quality of the food. After reading previous reviews, I was expecting average food and that wasn't the case at all. Maybe I'm not as fussy as other people but I don't know how you could not find something you like! The breakfast was perfect with made-to-order omelettes, waffles, bacon, etc. Lunches were great at the outdoor grill - the cheeseburger and fries were delicious and the chicken was excellent. The buffet was equally as good for lunch. Dinner was great in the main dining room (I did find Aqua a bit noisy) and there was always something different at the buffet. People who complain about the food on this ship must eat at 5 star restaurants all the time!
The coffee shop had the best cappuccino's and latte's I've had almost anywhere in the world:)
Cabin Review
Balcony
The cabin was average - bathroom had a good size stand up shower with room to move around unlike other balcony showers I've had! Lots of storage and closet space. Balcony was nice, especially going in and out of ports like Stockholm.
Port Reviews
Tallinn
Nice old city - loved the medievil town square. Toured around ourselves.
Helsinki
Great city - toured ourselves and loved the outdoor market.
Copenhagen
Great city - will definitely return. Stayed at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza and took the train. Toured around ourselves with no problems.
