This ship is just not comfortable. Firstly our outside cabin was very small and required the double bed to be separated to have any room at all. Also there was no comfortable lounge in the cabin as there usually is, instead there was a hard backed vinyl chair. You had to be quite agile to manage the constricted toilet. In summary too small and uncomfortable. Secondly the ship has no inside lounge ...
We chose this cruise only for the ports of calls. We have had less than stellar experience with NCL in the past but thought we would try them again. Only to confirm our thoughts of NCL not the choice of cruise lines we would choose again.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The port of calls were amazing. But the Star ship definitely has been neglected terribly. The food was edible but ...
This is such a tatty old ship! So disappointed! Embark action was a joke!! Took hours..then when we finally got on board the restaurants and bars all closed for the safety briefing..I appreciation that the briefing is essential but so is getting water when the temp is 33 degrees! Poor hygiene and poor standards. Public bathrooms blocked and overflowing everywhere and then out of order for days! ...
We went with friends who chose this cruise as they liked the itinerary, in particular, India.
We found the public areas too crowded & too noisy. I guess you get what you pay for & this "Freestyle" cruise was obviously not a good choice for us.
The 3 NCL excursions we took in India were very poor.
In Mumbai, we arrived at what, for us would have been the highlight, the Museum to be told ...
Just got back from 21 day cruise on Norwegian Star Dubai to Singapore. Here are my thoughts and observations.
1. Great itinerary from Dubai, UAE/Oman, down the west cost of India, Sri Lanka. Malaysia, Phuket to Singapore
2. Smoking allowed in the casino – seepage of smoke onto hallways and rooms. Very noticeable.
3. Ultimate Beverage package does not include water or specialty ...
Itinerary Rome-Naples-Messina-Katakolon-Athens-Limassol-Haifa-Aqaba-Safaga-Salalah-Muscat-Dubai 30October 2016 Norwegian Star.
CHECKIN at Civitavecchia and bag delivery score a 10 for ease, promptness and friendliness.
There is no welcoming committee as you board the ship, just the unfriendly dour faces of security.
Norwegian have an inconsistent policy of removing all beverages at every ...
The ports were wonderful and the people in the countries were all very friendly. No fear in any city. the ship did its best to avoid germs, but people avoided the hand washing stations, and many were sick on the ship. The ships doctor advised Airborne and charged a woman $460 for the 2 trips she made to see him.
The food was poor everywhere, and if you wanted a better meal, it was extra $ ...
To hit the positives, this was an awesome itinerary. Rome to Dubai with hassle free stops in Middle Eastern countries that would be very difficult to reach any other way. So I would give them 5 stars for itinerary and transportation.
The ship was well maintained. Our room was comfortable. The staff was outstanding. The entertainment in the main theater was excellent, night after ...
