So, first time cruiser here so I have little point of reference. But, I had an absolutely brilliant time with my father on this voyage of a life time to the utterly amazing Patagonia and Antarctica (sorry if this is a bit long).
Embarkation - so easy. It took around 45 mins to arriving at bag drop off to sitting by the pool with a beer in my hand. At all points there seemed to be forward ...
We chose this trip because of the ship and the itinerary. We prefer the small ships because they have a more personal and intimate feel to them compared to the big ships like the Bliss, Epic, Encore etc.
The entire cruise experience was great. We had a balcony stateroom and it was very spacious and comfortable. Yes, the ship is older so the room does show some wear and tear but it was very ...
My husband and I spent Christmas in this amazing ship from Buenos Aires to the Antartica visiting the most beautiful places along the way. From the beginning till the end, it was an amazing experience. The staff was always respectful and resourceful giving their best to ensure their guests were taken care of. The music was unbelievable amazing as well. We are from the island of enchantment and ...
This was one of the most amazing cruises I have been on. The itinerary was amazing (Buenos – Antarctic), but I have had other amazing itineraries. The NCL Star was actually the “Star”. The ship will be renovated soon, but we thoroughly loved the nostalgic look. Everything was clean, spotless and shiny. The glass elevators allowed us to never feel enclosed. The atrium always had something going ...

Cruise paths were modified to take us where the whales and other sea life were feeding and we enjoyed magnificent days exploring the Antarctic waters and seeing countless whales, ...
On this cruise it was me (56), my husband (60), and a group of 8 others. We met two of them on a cruise last year, and they invited us to join them and their family members on this one. This was cruise #16 for us with 8 on NCL, our first as Platinum. We originally booked OV and did some price drops and used points to upgrade to balcony deck 8.
Our cruise was the Feb 22 Jewel 10 day sailing ...

The highlight of course was Antarctica and combined with on board lectures and slow cruising around Fin Whales and Penguins it was a wildlife enthusiasts Dean - plenty of photography opportunities as well. NCL were at there usual high standard of service, food and cleanliness. The speciality restaurant ...

Getting to the port.

This cruise itinerary was excellent. Our cabin steward, Mr Rivera, was very accommodating with our schedule and very helpful. we discovered that a couple of things were not working in the cabin. We told him the same day we sailed from Miami and the issues were taken care that same night.
We had all of our evening meals at the Indigo Restaurant. Several people are worth mentioning; Singh ( I ...
