Norwegian Star Review

I can tell, almost with certainty, what my experience will be like from the moment I cross the threshold on a ship. When a smiling young purser grabbed our carry-ons and led us to our room, joking along the way with my mother, and when every staff member we passed offered a cheery "hello, welcome aboard," I knew the eight days we would spend aboard Norwegian Star would be, well, stellar.

"It's so BIG," my mother had murmured as we looked at the ship at anchor in Los Angeles, bright stars and streamers decorating the bow. The largest ship she had ever sailed had been just over half the size of the Star and she had found that ship big, too. With a 2,240 passenger capacity, the Star is a big ship, designed for Freestyle Cruising -- NCL's signature program of "dine whenever you want, with whomever you choose."

When it debuted in 2001 in a unique dual christening ceremony with Norwegian Sun, the Star was touted as "the first ship custom-built for Freestyle Cruising" and with 10 restaurants and 11 bars and lounges, no one can argue that fact. Family-friendly and handicap accessible, with public spaces that range from intimate to exuberant, a stunning two-level spa and workout space, activities and entertainment all day and night, and guest quarters that range from standard inside cabins to the enormous 5,700-square-ft. Garden Villas, this ship has something for everyone.
