Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
My husband and I arrived 3 days before I cruise and stayed at the Drury Inn. It is in a great location as I was able to walk to the French Quarter or Harrah's without any problems. There is also a Walgreens or a CVS and they are right on the edge of the French Quarter so about 4 blocks from the Drury Inn. Renaldo at the front desk was great with his recommendations for city tours. Each morning I would walk to Cafe Beignet on Bourbon street for coffee and a beignet. Got pralines for folks back home at both Laura's candy and Southern Candymakers. Folks are still telling me how yummy they were.
We ate dinner on Friday night at the Crazy Lobster. Wasn't anything to write home about. But Saturday night we had dinner at Cresent City Brewhouse with some of the Meet & Greet folks. Great dinner and even better dinner companions.
Sunday morning it was off to the port. Jules had been our cab driver from the airport to the hotel and we like her so much I got her phone number and used her just about every time we needed a cab. On Sunday she already had a fare so her husband picked us up. He was as good as Jules.
Cabin Review
Penthouse with Balcony
Cabin 12012 is one of the new Penthouse suites on the Star. It is laid out in a very comfortable floor plan. It is very roomy for two people. Three people wouldn't be too bad but 4 would be pushing the comfort level.
There could be more lighting in the bathroom. The flat screen TV is mounted on the wall and can pivot so you can view from the bed or couch.
The cabin has excellent closet space but could use more light there as well.
The balcony is nice with 3 wicker chairs and a small table. It would be nicer if there was at least one lounge chair.
There is only a coffee table in the cabin so it isn't real comfortable if you decide to order a meal in. Can be done but not as comfortable as a regular table would be.
