Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
I had previously sailed on NCL but it was in 1994. Given we'd just sailed on Princess at Thanksgiving and had such a spectacular experience, I wasn't sure if the Star could impress the way the Emerald did. Well let me tell you, she did just that!
I am a widow with two teenage girls and specifically cruise during the holidays so that we will NOT be at home. That being said, I'm looking for a vacation that takes us places we've never been, is a good value for the money, has entertainment to meet all of our needs, and one that will leave us with lasting memories. The NCL Star surpassed my expectations.

Cabin Review
Obstructed Oceanview
When three women travel together there is a LOT of stuff. Considering two are teens, double that amount. We were booked in an obstructed view outside stateroom on deck 8. The layout of the room was terrific (two lower beds, on Murphy bed on the wall), a small desk area, two separate banks of drawers (3 each), an excellent sized closet (that included MORE shelving and the safe), two small bedside tables, and a bathroom that totally ROCKED. There was also a small TV (I heard a complaint that it wasn't a flat screen but really??? We weren't planning on spending any more time in the cabin than what we needed to sleep so WHO CARES???) and a small fridge.
Let me tell all of you ladies out there...never in my life have I been on a ship with a bathroom that size. The area was SO well laid out. The toilet area was separated from the vanity area by a small sliding glass door. On the other side of the vanity was what I consider an oversized showed (for a ship) also enclosed by a sliding door. Really? No lousy shower curtain? Room to shave your legs? It was shear heaven!
