Review for a Alaska Cruise on Norwegian Star

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
I think the title says it all: there were some great views and ports with equally not-so-great service and food on the NCL Star to Alaska. I'll start at the beginning with embarkation.
Embarkation: Line after line after line. I have never had to wait in so many lines in my life. First you have to wait in line to drop your luggage off then you have to wait in another line to go through security ...

This past week we finished up our first cruise on NCL and unfortunately the wow factor was not there. This was around our 12Th cruise over all and had mainly cruised with Royal Caribbean in the past. However, our daughter works for NCL and we wanted to visit her so we booked a cruise on the Norwegian Star out of Seattle, Washington.
When critiquing something you should always start and finish ...

My boyfriend introduced me to cruise vacations. We've taken 4 cruises in the past 2 years--3 to the Caribbean (twice aboard Carnival and once on Holland America) the most recent trip was my 40th birthday gift from my last month to Alaska on NCL's Star...I know, I'm a lucky girl. I love the experience of putting the cellphone away for a week, having date nights every night for a week, exploring new ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
Enticed by a price that fit all pocketbooks (wrong, more later!) and the proximity of a Seattle round-trip, I booked the family on NCL for Pop-Pops 75th birthday cruise. We went to Alaska trailing 3 groups of novice cruisers. While a wonderful time was had by all, we are not inclined to repeat our NCL experience.
We had a mini-suite with other family in inside cabins across the hall. The ...

We're a married, professional couple who have taken lots of cruises with different lines, including NCL, over the last 10 years. This was our second cruise on the Star and we were sadly disappointed this time around.
Unfortunately NCL recently made a lot of changes to the public lounges and the layout on board. We didn't see anything that we would consider a positive change. The biggest mistake ...

I like the idea of freestyle cruising since it lets the guests eat in the main dining room whenever they want within the set hours. There is also no formal dress code, which I find quite liberating.
My partner and I think that the food was good, even though they do not receive our utmost praise. We like dining at Le Bistro since the French food there was quite good. Our waiter was also ...

Went on this cruise with my sister, mother, two friends and one of their mothers, six of us in all. I had been on one other cruise previous on Carnival. The others had all been on many other cruises. I felt overall the Carnival cruise was superior in every way.First off, I thought the ship was beautiful although there was some evidence of wear and tear. Our cabin was on deck ten and was a ...

Trip was an anniversary trip for two couples. My husband & I & friends had Annv. 1 wk. apart. They took a cruise 5 yrs. ago & invited us to go along. We cruised Alaska with another couple last year & talked about going back...didn't think it would be this soon! AA out of DFW, nothing eventful. we went to find transport & as I had read here a Limo was the right way to go. My husband asked the ...

This was our 5th cruise, our 3rd with NCL. Our two other cruises were on Carnival. After our first three cruises on NCL, we were satisfied that NCL would be our cruise line of choice. Our last NCL cruise we took 2 other families with us. This cruise, we again took 2 other families with us. My wife and I had bragged about the food, service, staff, etc... we had enjoyed on NCL. Those two families ...

This was my first trip to Alaska and my second cruise with NCL. In 2004 I cruised on the Pride of Aloha. This Star cruise was my 8th cruise overall.
Alaska was amazing, that being said the ship did not live up to the same description. I kept a journal while onboard and will go through it now and type up my highlights and lowlights from the NCL Star experience.
* Embarkation: Easy as pie. We ...
