In the past 19 years of wedded bliss, my wife and I have enjoyed over 40 cruises. In fact, we celebrated our Honeymoon on Star Princess. With the majority of our cruises being on Holland America and Princess, and a number on RCI, Celebrity, and Carnival, we approached the cruise with some trepidation. Our mid-ship balcony stateroom was big enough for a seven day cruise, and it was a joy not having to pack a tux and gowns! We indulged in the Ultimate Dining Package, which made our tariff of $17 per person, per night a real bargain, as we enjoyed Cagney's Steakhouse three nights, Le Bistro 2, and La Cucino and Moderno Churrascaria one night each. The food was phenomenal! Mornings were spent enjoying brew-in-your-stateroom coffee, with room service freshly-baked pastries. I managed to shoehorn in gravlax and pickled herring - for protein, of course - being the good Scandahoovian I am - a couple of hours later! The drink package allowed Bombay Sapphire martinis, Prosecco, and excellent wines-by-the-glass ($10 limit per beverage). The three shows we attended were excellent, but our raves must go to the staff on this ship! Our stateroom steward, waiters in bars and dining rooms, and front office staff always had a smile on their face, and never failed to greet us in the ship's passageways - most we encountered, including our room steward - were Filipino, so their graciousness was to be expected! All-in-all, five stars. In fact, we've booked Norwegian Star next year!
