Sail Date: Mar 2016
Cabin: Penthouse with Large Balcony

Situation: A couple in mid-70s with mobility challenges. Complete freedom to choose cruises on any basis at any time. Chose NCL Star Western Caribbean cruise because we could get a large balcony suite with unlimited dining and drink packages, $200 onboard credit and with zero daily gratuity included at a very good price. We really like the butler service!

Stateroom: We like the design of these suites and the large (forward facing) balcony. The suites are laid out to our liking, providing a roomy living and bed area. The bathroom is small with a single sink and a tub/shower combination. Strangely, the design does not include useable electrical outlets except at the make-up/dressing table outside the bathroom. There we found three outlets: one US standard; one UK standard and one to the French/European standard. I had adapters so all were used to charge batteries of various devices. The dining table was used for every breakfast and for one evening meal.

We like the design of the cabin but found numerous nicks, scratches and well-worn areas. The couch looked as if it had been rejected by Goodwill or Salvation Army. Neither the exterior storm door nor the interior door were airtight, and admitted a draft of warm and humid air as we sailed into a head wind! Fortunately, the air conditioning system worked well. The bed was very comfortable.
