The ship was nice, but the shore excursion process was painful

We chose this cruise because we wanted to go through the Panama Canal and had been to most of the Mexican ports that would be covered by a cruise starting or ending in California. We were particularly interested in the Colombian ports, which were cancelled two weeks before our sailing date and NCL would refused to let us cancel and get our money refunded. Supposedly the ship had "mechanical ...

I chose this cruise for us to get closer to Easter Island where we were planning to visit but Norwegian Star Cruise Line was not an enjoyable cruise for us this time...and I thought it could have been nice as the other one I had. Most crew or officers don't greet cruisers but only a handful of waiters and Bliss Ultra Lounge blonde bartender; food quality were average, fruits were not ripped, ...

We did the back to back Norwegian cruise, leaving Miami and ending in Buenos Aires. The restaurant, cabin and cruise director staff was AMAZING. The on and off cruise systems were horrible. Causing hours and hours of waiting in line on ship, and being out money. ADMINISTRATION WAS A NIGHTMARE. Things I wish I knew as a cruiser. * Keep all receipts and if any concern email vs. ...

We recently did an eleven day southern Caribbean cruise on the Star. We had an outside cabin with an ocean view. The 1st night was ok, but the 2nd, 3rd and 4th we could not get any sleep because of something banging on the outside bulkhead. I called guest services and nothing was resolved. The banging stopped for 2 nights then a different noise like a heavy line or cable rubbing against the side ...

This fall my husband and I traveled from Rome to Miami on a repositioning cruise on the Norwegian Star. We had traveled on the Star before and had not liked the layout of the ship because it lacked quiet bar areas for reading and viewing the ocean. Norwegian touted a complete renovation of this ship so we thought we would give it another try. Quiet space was harder than ever to come by. More ...

I wanted to try a transatlantic crossing, and this Rome to Miami cruise looked great. I had not cruised on NCL, but thought i'd give them a try. Earlier this year i did a 20 day cruise on Holland america and they were great! The first problem I encountered was before the cruise. They have packaged deals for dining in the specialty dining rooms, otherwise several of them have ala carte ...

WE choose this cruise because we wanted to try the west coast cruise ports and we also wanted to see the Panama Canal. I have been on many cruises all over the world. The Star was ok ... We had an inside room..Very small.. you had to wait till your turn to get to the closets..there was no where you could pass each other without bumping... It had great closet space. In fact it is the best ...

this 2 week cruise seemed to be a great deal until... Embarkation was a nightmare....longer lines than ever experienced & we had paid an upgrade fee & were assured at checkin our bags would be delivered properly since our room had changed.NOPE! After hours of waiting around, my husband went to find them himself & brought them to our cabin. We weren't able to get any sleep the first 3 nites ...

What happened to NCL and the Star

We've cruised the Star twice in the past and had a great time. Unfortunately something has happened to the once great NCL attitude. I don't expect luxury from NCL but I do expect a good value. As a platinum member, perks were promised but poorly delivered. Embarkation was supposed to be"priority" but was directed to a line with a 35 minute wait. When I asked about the priority line, was told ...

We did 9 cruises with NCL and they were great. # 10 with the STAR not great at all. Our room with balcony was on the 9th deck near the open deck, the music was so loud that I slept every nicht with sleeping pills. We booked the cruise 10 month ahead and could not get our deck 10 we had on all other cruises. The crew was unfriendly, they were very occupied talking to each other, no attention to the ...
