Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
I cannot say enough good things about the crew and the service on the Norwegian Star.
My wife and I just returned from one of the best vacations of our lives. We booked the 12 night Norway, Iceland, and North Sea Islands cruise aboard the Norwegian Star, sailing from 9/19/13 to 10/1/13. My wife and I are both over 50, have only had one prior cruise, and were drawn to this one mostly by the exceptional destination ports: Copenhagen, the Norwegian Fjords, Shetland islands, Faroe Islands, Iceland, and even stops in Oslo and Helsingborg, Sweden. Especially true of the Shetlands and Faroes, these are unique destinations not readily available by any means of travel. And although of course we would have liked to have had more time in each place, the ports did not disappoint in any manner and the time we had was good if not great.
But this is not meant to be a cruise review, rather it is a ship review, so I wont spend a lot of time writing about the ports except as they relate to the ship. With that in mind:
Cabin Review
Great room to get if you don't mind the smallish size of the room and so do not want to pay for the mini-suite or better. Bathroom and storage very good. Couch nearly useless, Bed quite comfortable, though on the hard side if that matters to you. Sitting area in room is cramped and you wont want to dine there, but the table is useable for reading, writing, and a laptop. The highlight of this room is the larger balcony than on other decks and the great view therefrom. Being located near the center elevators is also a plus, as is the quick single flight of stairs to the buffet for breakfast. No noise issues.
