Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
I am sitting here still feeling the gentle swaying of the ship and reflecting about my first cruise ever to Alaska, and there's so much to tell and say, and, and, and you get the point I am sure.
I don't think anyone could have prepared me for this experience; it's truly one of those you have to experience firsthand to really understand what it's all about.
Because I am a weenie when it comes to traveling -- (my idea of camping is the Four Seasons) I wasn't sure what the cabins would be like so we booked a suite. During this time our PCC made sure our excursions were taken care of, listened to me fret about the worry of being sick, and a myriad of other things I asked about. Over the course of 4 months my PCC and I developed a friendly rapport and I can't thank him enough.
Cabin Review
Penthouse with Large Balcony
Cabin 9500 aboard the Star is darker than they depict. When they say it's 500 sq feet they are including a 200 sq foot balcony deck. So the room is not as big an airy as it shows online.
Keep in mind you cannot sleep with your door open, or curtains open at night because this cabin is forward right under the bridge. The view is great but at night the bridge crew needs to see at night and light coming from your room prevents that.
You can feel the motion of the ocean forward more than if you have a mid-ship cabin.
This cabin is right above the Stardust Theater. You can hear all the music and performances that they practice if you go to bed before 10 PM. You can feel the boom boom boom. We got used it.
