NCL STAR DEC. 8-22 Panama Canal cruise

Handicap room 10968

Cons: Unfortunately smoking is allowed on balconies and outside port side(our next door neighbor smoked and we could always smell smoke on our balcony which was disgusting and because of this, will not cruise with NCL if smoking is allowed), room was dusty and windows dirty, bed configuration wrong, small balcony for handicap room, old furniture, décor, not much room for toiletries in bathroom, only 4 small drawers for clothes, no face soap, no hair conditioner, no hand/body lotion, only shower gel and shampoo in shower dispensers, public areas very cold so need sweater, room service menu very limited, bathroom lighting very dim, difficult to put on makeup, no comfortable chairs in room to sit and read. Since it was a December cruise, unfortunately someone decided to tape up hundreds of big paper Santa heads, gingerbread men, Christmas trees. They had some nice decorated Christmas trees all over the public areas, these juvenile paper decorations were totally tacky.
