I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the reviews were better than the other options. I am happy for my choice. The cabin was just perfect for us. The food was fabulous. I would suggest more variety and daily changes to the breakfast buffet but it was sufficient. Excellent drinks and wings at O'Shaheens. Mojitos were great at the Mojito bar. Yum! The white hot party was surreal and unforgettable. We loved Shimy the singer at the Stardust as well as dancing at Bliss. The beds in the cabin were sooo comfortable. Sail away from Venice was unforgettable. Loved Versailles restaurant. Our cabin steward Francis was wonderful. Service was usually excellent. My son and his girlfriend were first-time cruisers and LOVED the experience. We were sad to leave the NCL Star. The crew works very hard and the ship, recently reconditioned, was in great shape. No real complaints at all. Loved it!
