Not knowing what to expect, we had a great time. The embarkation was quite delayed for the first cruise in the US after retrofit, which shouldn't happen again, but once boarded everything was great. Perfect size for first cruise with plenty to see and do, If you are looking for a wow dining experience you won't get that but you will be more than satisfied with the food offerings and the ...
First time on Norwegian. We were not impressed with the food. Although the crew were very friendly- we had to walk into the hall to request towels or face clothes as we were about to shower. The entertainment we felt was above average with a variety of shows, magician, contortionist, Russian circus experts and the dancers.
The cruise activities were plentiful and well organized. We enjoyed ...
We love the islands, weather and NCL. It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we have taken previous cruises on our 20th and 25th anniversary. We have never been disappointed. The on board staff are amazing people an a credit to NCL. The food, entertainment, bars, restaurants all exceeded our expectations again. The overall value is good and I highly recommend the owners suites. They are spacious ...
We had two separate rooms that were on opposite sides of the ship, but at least on the same floor. Alberto my cabin steward (8176) was amazing always smiled, made sure we had everything we needed. Dining was extremely slow in both main dining rooms and even worse was O'sheehans. Food was mostly good though. Breakfast at Versailles was typical cold by the time we got it. Dinner took at least 2 ...
My wife and I sailed with the Star to the Caribbean.
We had a good time, meet new friends and enjoyed the cruise.
We had a small issue with our cabin. After embarkation in Jamaica, the crew did not tie up the ramp properly. We had 2 nights at sea with a lot of noise. Then after visiting Aruba, the ramp was tied up properly and the noise disappeared. The problem came back after the next ...
Although we were one of the youngest couples on the cruise (and we are mid 50’s) it was a fantastic cruise. The staff were friendly and attentive. The ship was clean. Loved the Cruise Director, Roberto, and his staff.
As always we stayed mid-ship in an inside cabin. We were in cabin 9613. No complaints other than every night in the middle of the night, the engine made extremely loud noise and ...
Last year we cruised on the sun and had a wonderful time. We expected the same but were disappointed in the entertainment choices. The people we met made the trip. Because of limited evening entertainment we were normally in bed before 11 pm
The shiws in the main theatre were good. The karoake was not working the last two evenings. When you look forward to karoake as your entertainment ...
We had never done a cruise before and found this cruise online. We thought we were at Norwegian Cruise Lines site but after the fact learned we were at "Cruises Only" site. BIG mistake.We had heard some friends say that NCL was one of the better ones so we decided to go with it .To sum things up, we enjoyed the cruise but it was CONTINUALLY way to much about "HOW CAN NCL GET MORE OF OUR MONEY" . ...
I picked this cruise both for the itinerary and the ability to have a family suite without breaking the cruise budget.

Boarding was fast and organized. We hung out by the pool all day. Though rooms were ready at 1:30, we didn't go until about 4pm. Why rush? Our inside room on deck 11 aft was tiny for 4 people. I requested an upgrade but the ship was at capacity Thanksgiving week. Once we separated the bottom beds so we essentially had two bunk beds on either side, which provided more walking space, it was a bit ...
