Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Norwegian Star

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This isn't your ordinary kick back by the pool in the sunshine and be pampered cruise itinerary. It goes to ANTARCTICA! For many on the ship who are frequent travelers, this was the final destination, the SEVENTH continent to visit. The destination is unique. The itinerary is grueling: it crosses The Drake Passage- where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans converge. Some days, it's a "lake". ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We recently sailed on the 2/4/24-2/15/24 Atlas World Navigator, 11 nt Antarctica expedition crossing the Antarctic Circle. We were in an A1-Horizon Stateroom with the push button drop down upper window. It was perfect for Antarctica since it let you take clear pictures without standing in the cold. The bed was very comfortable and the room was a decent size with a couch and two chairs. The ...

The first time I booked this cruise 2 years ago it was canceled. This time the cruise went but the itinerary was suddenly changed. People from remote parts of the world had a long journey to Argentina mostly to see Antarctica, but instead of 2 full days in Antarctica, we had only 2 hours and saw 2 islands from a distance. It was a big disappointment for many of us. As we understood the only reason ...

Bad Experience on an Antarctica Cruise

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

My wife and I, both in our 60’s, booked this 14 day cruise from Buenos Aires to Antarctica and were very disappointed. We have over 30 cruises with 10 on Norwegian and the rest mostly on Royal Caribbean, Princess, or Holland America. I usually rate cruises as 5 star as you get what you book and a cruise is usually a good time. However this cruise on the Norwegian Star was overall terrible for ...

Booked this cruise because of the itinerary. I planned on visiting friends in both Barbados and Tobago, which I did. The only problem with the itinerary is the San Juan departure port which is cumbersome to get to. The Jewel although one of RCI's older ships was clean and well maintained and really doesn't show her age. Some aspects like the tiny pools and small windjammer buffet do harken to ...

Great cruise. Bad side, the ship is in need of a complete renovation. Our Verandah stateroom had plastic curtains which had patches all over the backside to repair holes instead of replacing with new curtains. The fridge door would not stay closed completely so it never really kept anything cold. Bathrobes that are placed in the staterooms have seen their days, very cheap and flimsy. Beds ...

Wanted to see Antarctica but no longer interested in getting out on the ice or paddling around in kayaks. Traveled with a group of four couples who had previously sailed on Celebrity Summit. This class of ships are nicely designed with larger showrooms to accommodate grand productions and very nice gyms. Of course, that means the dining venues are also huge and, when full, tend to be ...

Captain Skips Ports! 'nuf said!

This captain skips ports. What else can be said about a cruise billed as a voyage to Antarctica and the Falklands Islands but skips the Falklands and cuts out a day in Antarctica. I'm sure most people lined up to pay $$$ to see eight days in a row of the South Atlantic. No? Probably not. I hear there's a line forming onboard to join a class action lawsuit organized by some of the passengers. Rude ...

The Ship did not disappoint. The room was great, our room steward was accommodating and did a great job. The Spa service was a great benefit. Our excursions were interesting, and the on-board lectures and entertainment was top notch. We had a lot of dining choices for a small ship. The cocktail service was great. We were always greeted when we exited and entered the ship. If we had a request ...

Going to Antarctica was a lifelong dream, and when I saw there was a South Georgia itinerary, we decided - "Let's go for it". Definitely a once in a lifetime expedition for us as we're getting older. Although we are well warned, anything can happen on an expedition cruise, and before you make a $60,000 commitment (included Patagonia extension and Viking trip insurance, + room upgrade), I ...
