Our TA chose it for us and it was a perfect fit for a first time cruiser.
We went on the NCL Star from April 13-20th from Miami for a 7 day Caribbean cruise.
Shuttle from airport to dock: easy to hail a van for 4 adults, $27-$30
Check in: efficient and fairly quick given how many people there were
First impression after stepping into the main lobby: Wow! Some may think it's slightly ...
We choose this piticular cruise at the last minute due to our original cruise the Oasis of the Seas had got cancelled due to major damage. Thank God for Ashley Bennington @ ashley@jcotravel.com. She was able to within minutes get us on the Star less than one week prior to sailing.
Honestly was a little worried about this ship due to the last minutes booking, size and activity. What an amazing ...
I wanted to celebrate my birthday In a special way and this cruise was perfect. I enjoyed every moment.The ship was smaller than I normally cruise on ,but it was easier to find everything. The people were terrific and the service was great. The cabin was an ocean view cabin which was fine for the time we spent in it(only to sleep) we were partying most of the time. For my birthday we went to one ...
We love the islands, weather and NCL. It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we have taken previous cruises on our 20th and 25th anniversary. We have never been disappointed. The on board staff are amazing people an a credit to NCL. The food, entertainment, bars, restaurants all exceeded our expectations again. The overall value is good and I highly recommend the owners suites. They are spacious ...
We choose this 11 day Southern Caribbean cruise because we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. We don't make a tom of money and felt the value of a cruise, this cruise was a great use of our vacation dollars.
Our room steward Ven was amazing. His timing was perfect. Never did we return to our room and have it not ready to receive us. We didn't eat at the buffet much, rather we ate at ...
Not knowing what to expect, we had a great time. The embarkation was quite delayed for the first cruise in the US after retrofit, which shouldn't happen again, but once boarded everything was great. Perfect size for first cruise with plenty to see and do, If you are looking for a wow dining experience you won't get that but you will be more than satisfied with the food offerings and the ...
Have done over thirty cruises with Carnival, Holland, Princess, and Royal Caribbean, while this was the tenth cruise with Norwegian. We had the opportunity to book a suite for the first time which was a definite upgrade from the normal balcony. The suite was magnificent and the balcony was large enough for two chairs, a table, and lounger. The service could not have been any better from ...
We had never visited most of the Islands on this Cruise and specially wanted to visit Aruba & Curaçao. We loved each port and all of our excursions!
The ship was just coming from a remodel and was beautifuly redone. It felt like we were traveling on a brand new ship clean & bright. We never traveled on the Star before but, we have been on the Dawn and we loved the improvements. Everything ...
We chose this cruise because my husband was ready to try a cruise experience. We wanted a ship that wasn't too large and offered a variety of things to do including excursions. The food and service was great, we tried 4 of the dining program restaurants. The cabin was comfortable and the cabin steward did a very good job of keeping it tidy and responding to any needs we had.
What we enjoyed ...
12th cruise with NCL...have never had an issue or disappointment. Used NCL for transfers, some excursions, and as a platinum member free laundry service means going home with clean clothes. Always found eating tables, even at peak hours, and enjoyed the specialty restaurants. The entertainment was the best we have witnessed of the 10 ships we have cruised.
Embarkation took no more than 10 ...
