I am a 40 something housewife and mother of 4 teens from central Virginia. We stayed the night before embarkation in Miami at the even hotel. It was a very nice hotel, and definitely catered to fitness minded people. It was decently priced, and not too far from downtown Miami and the cruise port. We got overcharged by a cab driver, know exactly where you want to go and use your own gps to keep ...
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 ...
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 ...
First time on Norwegian. We were not impressed with the food. Although the crew were very friendly- we had to walk into the hall to request towels or face clothes as we were about to shower. The entertainment we felt was above average with a variety of shows, magician, contortionist, Russian circus experts and the dancers.
The cruise activities were plentiful and well organized. We enjoyed ...

The NCL Star is a beautiful ship and big. My husband and I still did not know our way around after a week. The stateroom, a picture window room, was nicer in person than in pictures. Our stateroom attendant, Victorio, kept it clean and tidy and each night left us a different animal on our bed made of towels.
There were food venues all over the ship, and O'Sheehan's (a complimentary bar and ...
My family and my dads friends went on the ncl star on 4-10-16 it was awesome Embarking and disembarking were a breeze. Arrived at port at 10:30, checked in and sat in the port lounge and was called to go on at 11:30. Getting off was even easier. You pick the time you want to get off and they were right on schedule.food was awesome and yummy special thanks to Cindy for getting us off the ship in ...
The itinerary fit the dates We could travel. And, 2 of the ports were new to me. Honduras and Belize City.
My girlfriend and I travel together often, but I don't get to go away with my kids as often as I like. This was a treat, traveling with my daughter, her husband and my 2 1/2 year old grandson.
The crew couldn't have been nicer. Being a frequent cruiser, I must say, I've NEVER ...
We sailed on NCL Star from Tampa on April 10. We are a couple in our 60's, retired, living in Florida. We had the promotional Ultimate Beverage Package and stayed in a mini-suite. No long review here. If you want detailed ship and port info, see CTCruisers' review of the same cruise posted earlier, it's excellent with much more detail than I could ever provide.
Our mini-suite was great, ...
