Baltic Sea Norwegian Star Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

This was a very special cruise for us. We were looking forward to it for a long time and actually cancelled another cruise that made two stops in Greenland to do this cruise since it not only stopped in Greenland but also ported in Iceland with three stops around the island. Embarkation was totally unorganized. Just a little communication would have done wonders. Instead, when the large tented ...

Booked this trip for July 2023 because of the great itinerary. The Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful. Cabins were clean and the ship was nice. The excursion desk really bent over backwards to adjust when port calls were cancelled due to weather/sea ice (sucks but no one's fault). Specialty restaurants were quite good particularly Le Bistro. Cons: The complementary food was meh. Norwegian ...

I had a great trip overall. The crew, fellow passengers, and destination made the investment a win The interest free payments also helped, and I thought that was a great option provided by NCL. The ship's crew was friendly, and the solo traveler activities were enjoyable. The atmosphere for solo travelers allowed people of all ages to hang out together organically and have a great time, regardless ...

Initially looking at another British Isles cruise that includes Belfast, Dublin and Liverpool, I ended up on this itinerary that embarks at Reykjavik. This definitely is a rarity as few big ships do turnarounds at Iceland. Not only could I spend more time exploring Iceland's inland and south coast from the capital, but also see three other Icelandic towns without taking a flight or a car. Another ...

This was our 4th NCL cruise and it was sadly our worst experience so far. It was so bad, that NCL went from being our go-to line to our backup plan going forward. CONS: 1. Overpriced internet package of $600 bucks didn't even work most of the time. It was infuriating. 2. Food in the MDR was often too salty. Wasn't like this on other NCL lines. I'm willing to overlook this because NCL has ...

We chose this cruise because of the ports that it was visiting during it's repositioning. Dining room & buffet food was average though they charge extra for steak and lobster. Other cruises we have been on usually offer them at least once during your cruise at no extra cost. Specialty restaurants were good but some items on the menu were the same thing that you could get in the buffet or dining ...

Where do I begin? We booked nearly last minute and was told there was a possibility for an upgrade. We paid for an outside cabin and got one with a completely obstructed view, as a life boat was directly put the window. We asked if we could pay for an upgrade to a balcony and were told to keep coming back the next day. After 3 days we gave up. However, they did upgrade 2 from winning Bingo! ...

We chose this cruise for the port stops it would be making, we wanted to see Norway, but not exclusively, and my husband really wanted to go to Iceland too. I had read some awful reviews about the Norwegian Star, terrible service, no bartenders to wait on you, grumpy employees on the ship, the ship looking very worn, mediocre food. Let me just say, this was the most upbeat crew we'd ...

I set up some specifics for the agent and what I got was this trip. I guess everything was based on selling as much as possible. What I missed most onboard was a small armchair in my room. There were no chair onboard where you could just sit without having to buy something. Buy, buy, buy that seemed to be the motto. The free caffee was not good. I gues about 20% of the food was made onboard. The ...

I have been on many cruises, but had not been on NCL in many years before deciding to give them another try because I liked the itinerary. I wasn’t crazy about the ship, which was very smoky, and the food wasn’t very good. They also confiscate all liquids every time you get back on the ship. I won’t be coming back to NCL anytime soon. Embarkation Our flight arrived in Copenhagen early in ...
