The first time I booked this cruise 2 years ago it was canceled. This time the cruise went but the itinerary was suddenly changed. People from remote parts of the world had a long journey to Argentina mostly to see Antarctica, but instead of 2 full days in Antarctica, we had only 2 hours and saw 2 islands from a distance. It was a big disappointment for many of us. As we understood the only reason ...
Last year we cruised from buenos aires to South Shettland Islands with NCL on 2023 February 12th. It was a panoramic cruise but too intersting.
We watched a lot of whales in Elephant Island, great landscapes of glaciers and Cientifics bases in Admiralty Bay, penguins in puerto madrin, ushuaia and punta arenas,and a lof of birds during the trip.
We sadly cant arrive to Falklands Island ...
We chose this cruise because it was the first time that a NCL ship would cruise Antarctica. We really enjoyed the 2 days spent cruising Antarctica. The captain was flexible in where we went and made changes according to the weather. NCL arranged for several professionals to be aboard who had worked in Antarctica, and they gave a number of presentations and also made announcements from the ...
We chose this cruise because it was a special gift for one of our daughters. She wanted to see penguins :) and we wanted to go to Antarctica. Well we did not get the chance to step on the continent, but it was an amazing trip full of new adventures.
We were in a two bed suite.. I would say the only downside of the room was the creaking :) ( the ship is getting renovated in '24). our room ...
We chose this cruise because we loved the itinerary...so exciting to sail around the bottom of South America!
The Star is in excellent condition thanks to the crew's constant upkeep. It seemed as though we saw painters working every single time we were walking around. The food was excellent with a wide variety to choose from; food service was excellent as well.
The onboard entertainment ...
We choose this cruise because of the opportunity to visit Greenland for the first time and return to Iceland which we had seen on an NCL cruise 5 years ago but not on the Star but on the Gem. We were concerned that the ship was much smaller and older then the ships we typically travel but because of the ports we decided to book it.
By the time of our cruise we were aware the last scheduled ...
This was our 9th cruise on Norwegian and our 17th cruise overall. This was our first time on the Norwegian Joy. Due to the size of this very large ship, embarkation was a bit frustrating with very long lines, but once we were on the ship, that was almost forgotten.
The Norwegian is only a few years old and is beautiful and clean. The ship has a lot of activities including a race car track and ...
Panama Canal on our bucket list, awarded thru Casino for interior room so good opportunity to do this with small discount. I was hesitant going with another NCL bigger ship since our Thanksgiving Cruise on the get a way wasn’t that good. This ship however was a pleasant experience; the staff across the entire ship were welcoming, always greeting guests. I enjoyed the layout on this ship so much ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and the time of year. This was our first cruise in many years and our first on the NCL line. We originally booked a mini suite and put a bid on an upgrade about 30 days before the cruise. We won the bid and were excited to have been placed in the Deluxe Owner's Suite #15500. The service there was wonderful and we had a delightful time. The Butler, ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the fact that it left San Francisco and ended in New York. Being from the East Coast, we only had to fly one way. This cruise had 13 port stops which was wonderful. The ship was almost all senior citizens which we expected due to the length of the cruise. We met some wonderful people from all over the world and it was so interesting talking ...
