Norwegian Star Review
Good ports but not a good cruise experience.

Additional details
We pick our cruises by the ports and cruise date. In the past we have cruised with Princess but decided to try Freestyle cruising with NCL because the sailing date fit our schedule.
The ports and shore excursions on this cruise were comparable to Princess. We were happy with the excursions. Most of the tour guides were very interesting except for Cartegena, Columbia. The organization of meeting your tour, disembarking, and finding your bus worked but felt like chaos.
Our stateroom was clean and comfortable. The room steward and helper were friendly. We really enjoyed the towel animals. The coffee maker was a nice touch and we put it to good use. There was only one American electric outlet in the main cabin and it wasn't in a very useful location. There was a curtain between the bed and couch. Princess didn't provide that in their mini-suites. The cabin was mainly wood paneling and creaked all the time.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Nice cabin but it creaked all of the time. We were under the Teen Center but it wasn't a problem because there were very few children on this cruise. Liked having a curtain between the bed and couch area. Really like having a coffee maker and the cabin steward kept us well supplied.
