Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
We had an amazing time! We had never cruised before but found it a great way to see a lot of things and have loads of fun in a floating resort. The staff were great and the whole experience was enjoyable. We liked our time both on and off the ship. The embarkation and disembarkation seemed to flow very smoothly and the ship never felt overcrowded even though it was said to be full. We ate at most of the specialty restaurants and enjoyed them. When we booked we got to select a couple extras and used the ultimate beverage package and the 3 specialty dining package. Ultimate beverage package is nice, but I would say it is frustrating that it doesn't just include everything under $15 (lattes, champagne, carafe of wine special, etc). We found it very good value as an inclusion, but frustrating all the same. I wouldn't hesitate to cruise NCL again or recommend this ship/itinerary. It seemed there was always something going on for everyone.
Cabin Review
Penthouse with Balcony
Lovely and spacious! Our room steward, concierge and butler were excellent. There is a small crack in the bathtub that has been epoxied and is very evident, but we never used the bath anyway. The products in our bathroom were Bvlgari green tea, which were lovely.
Port Reviews
Venice
I love Venice. It is a unique and interesting city.
Dubrovnik
Very cool, walkable city. We took the cable car and although the we had a long wait, the views were excellent!
Katakolon (Olympia)
Greece is lovely. We took the train to Olympia and paid the €12 to go to the archeological site. It also included 2 museums and we visited one of those. We had a delicious Greek feast in a taverna and did a bit of souvenir shopping in Katakolon. Beautiful blue waters and yummy food!
