We have planned this cruise for some time and picked this itinerary long ago. The ship was adequate, the service good and the staff was friendly. We had the most concerns regarding the food. As it turned out we did frequent the buffet several times and the food there was average at best. We did try a few of the specialty restaurants and they did not live up to expectations. In fact I experienced ...

We are Platinum Latitudes - so we get some really nice perks -and we appreciate the extras that keep us coming back to NCL. Having been on just about every class ship we were excited to hear that the Star had been overhauled last year -and while it was nice, there were a few things I found strange. They enclosed the back end from the Garden Cafe - now H2O. It got a bit stuffy even when sailing ...
Choose this cruise if you're young and can take a lot of chaos AND if you haven't done much other cruising. The public areas are noisy and hectic, with kids in the hot tubs and everybody screaming at each other. The food was junior high school cafeteria level, and most every dish was barely warm. It answered the question, How can you spoil a hot dog? Pastry and breads were routinely stale. You ...
We have always talked about going on a cruise. My wife had been on quite a number of cruises and she was excited about going on a Mediterain cruise for the first time.
Bookings of flights was not correct until brought to the attention of NCL. At one time our travel agent was told that NCL is a Cruise company and not n airline, which I told my agent that they should not offer air travel with ...
We are Platinum members on NCL and have cruised on many of their ships. The Star is by far the worst ship I have ever been on. We normally sail in the Haven but this ship does not have a Haven so we booked an Owners Suite. First off the room was freezing cold the entire time and we were told we could not turn off the air just turn it up. We had it turned up to the hottest it would go and it still ...
Awful experience! I had my body covered in bedbug bites two days after getting on the boat! It ruined my holidays!
They downgraded us to a different room which by the way they said it had also been cleaned off bedbugs!
They washed my clothes and ruined quite a few of them! They said they had to spray our shoes and sent them all back in our suitcases all together in a ball without any ...
First the good: Comfortable cabin, decent excursions, buffet was ok (except deserts), decent service, decent wi-fi.
Now the bad:
1. They cancelled the stop at Kotor. Huge disappointment. I realize that his may have been beyond their control, but we didn’t get any kind of refund or credit. I did get ship credit for the excursion that I booked.
2. The gym is small and many of the ...
This is the second time we've sailed with Norwegian and it will be the last. Twice now they have cancelled a port without having any kind of alternate plan in place. The first time was the Baltic Sea cruise where they cancelled the Stockholm port. Reason was that it was too windy to get thought the passage. And I understand that. BUT I'm also certain this was not the first time it was too ...
My wife and I chose this cruise to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was our 10th cruise in as many years, always in a top suite on the ship. 8 of the cruises were on Carnival. This was our 2nd on NCL.
On the ship there is only one stateroom class higher...the 3 bedroom garden villa. This room is actually on the bridge wing on the starboard side. It commands amazing floor to ceiling ...
