My wife and I & our two girls (12 / 8) sailed on the Star the week of July 10, 2010. We stayed in room 11066 AF mini suite. We were joined by my brother, his wife, and their son (10). They also stayed in an adjoining AF mini suite. Day 1: Embarkation was a breeze. We showed our e-docs, had our picture taken and room card created, and waited for approximately 20 minutes before they allowed us to ...

Just got back from the Norwegian Star 7 day Alaska cruise (today July 3rd) - Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Prince Rupert, and an unbelievable full-ship tour of the Sawyer glacier. We gracefully navigated the icebergs... getting closer and closer... stunning scenery. Stayed in a balcony (9th floor, forward) - loved it. The lower-half glass and overhangs made it pleasant even in light rainfall. And ...

We were on deck 11 and had a mini-suite. Plenty of room for the four of us. The balcony was a nice plus and gave us a place to hang out and watch beautiful scenery while others were getting ready. I've read mixed reviews about the Star but we found it to be very nice, especially with teens. We toured Seattle before getting on the ship. The Space Needle was great. We were lucky to have great ...

We stayed in the Days inn by the airport, just a place to sleep, nothing to write home about. We used Primetime shuttle to get to the pier, they were very good and on time. Embarkment was so easy, as always, being in the suite it was even more amazing. We were greated with big smiles and treats. The cards were ready and we were lead to our amazing room. The Penthouse is so nice, love the vanity ...

Day 1 The drive to Seattle was uneventful. We arrived around 11am, found the garage where my car would be housed for the upcoming week, gave our luggage to the man in the garage, and found our way to the cruise ship. The line through security looked long but moved pretty quickly. My belt set off the metal detectors, of course, but that was the only issue. Before we got onto the ship we had to ...

Background: This was DH's and my tenth sail with NCL. We drove to Seattle from Portland so that we could switch out our large cruise bags for carry-ons as we were continuing with Norwegian Pearl on the one night cruise to Vancouver when we returned. We had second thoughts on taking this cruise having already done Glacier Bay two years ago. Glad we rethought it and went. The two are nothing alike ...

We just got back from our first cruise to Alaska and it was awesome. Having never cruised before we weren't sure what to expect, all we knew was what we had read on cruise critic and in travel books. We were not disappointed at all, we had a great time and can't wait to go on another cruise. It was just myself and my husband (mid 30's celebrating our 7 year wedding anniversary). We arrived in ...

Good: Great weather. In fact the day we saw the glacier was the warmest day! We sat by the pool before the ship entered the fjords in the afternoon. I was told by the executive chef who was on the upper deck taking pictures - that it was closest the Star had gotten to the Tracy Arm glacier all season. Weather is one of those things you can't plan for but realistically a trip to Alaska in ...

First, let me say thank you to all who sponsor and all who have participated in this Review website.  As newcomers, we found it an extremely helpful resource in planning our trip.  I come now to see what others thought of the cruise we just finished with NCL's Star to Alaska.Next, let me say that we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, NCL, and the Star.  Perhaps, we are somewhat naive, not having ...

We just got back from our cruise aboard the Norwegian Star to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Prince Rupert. The night before embarkation we stayed at the Fairmont Olympic in Seattle. They're an easy walk to the Pike's Place market and Pier 66 is only a short cab ride away.The check-in was a breeze, it only took a few minutes, we didn't have to stand in any long lines or try and figure out what to ...
