OVERVIEW - I cruised on the Norwegian Star with 4 other people on Jan 17th. This was the first cruise for my one friend and the rest of my party had cruised on over 10 cruises each. This was the first "freestyle" cruise for everyone
DEPARTURE - The smoothest part of this entire trip was getting on board. It only took 40 minutes to get through the entire procedure. Once on board, the confusion began. No one was available to escort you to your room and hundreds of people were trying to figure out where to go.
ACCOMMODATIONS - The inside cabins on the Star were comfortable but a bit worn. Though the housekeeping staff was always busy, the bed linens, towels, and furnishings all needed to be updated. No announcements could be heard from inside the cabin.
