Embarkation in Miami
NCL must FIX THIS. It is not wise to begin a cruise with chaos, inefficiency and overcrowding. NCL has the opportunity to create a positive first impression ONCE; and on this cruise, it failed. I later learned that the delay was caused by an unannounced ship inspection which NCL STAR passed with ease. An explanation of the unavoidable delays should have been communicated ...

The Panama canal has been a bucket list trip for me for years and this one was priced right so I took it. Overall I had a great time. Going through the Panama canal was very well done with Panamanian official on board giving timely reports over the intercom as to what we were seeing.
Just keep in mind that the Star is an older ship and will not compare to the newer ones in the fleet. If you ...

14 Day Panama Canal Cruise – LA to Miami
Coming from Georgia, we decided to take the Norwegian Star out of Los Angeles so we could acclimate back to Eastern time along the way. We went a couple of days early and experienced a few touristy things there and then went to board the ship around 11:00 am since we had a suite. We were in room 10228. We are not normally there that early but thought it ...

We did the 14 day Panama Canal cruise from Miami to LA. I packed all the things that are essential for me. A clock radio, magnetic clips to hold the itinerary with excursions, dining reservation and the daily planner on the wall, flavored creamer for my coffee. I took an extension cord for plugging in our devices but didn't need it because the suite had 2 outlets, backpack for excursions, my Yeti ...

This 14 day cruise was from Miami through the Panama Canal and north to Los Angeles. The ship was clean and well maintained as was our cabin. The toilet stopped working twice
(affecting a number of cabins) but was repaired promptly.
The staff, without fail, was pleasant, friendly and helpful. Any request was dealt with promptly.
The food in the two dining rooms, Aqua and Versailles was ...

We chose this because we always wanted to see the Panama Canal and the central America ports.
Embarking was very quick. We arrived approx 11:45 and were on the ship by 12:15.
Headed to O'Sheehan's bar for lunch and beverage. Nice bar and good food. Great staff! Anytime dining allows you to dine here as well as the main dining rooms.
Checked out the ship after that. The Start just had ...

Overall, I found the Star to be okay. I recently sailed the Jade (Panama Canal, Miami round-trip) and have favorites on both boats and wish the two would combine to make my dream ship!
My favorite area in the morning was on Deck 12, Spice H2O (adults only, though apparently one couple couldn't read and their daughter was found often in there) -- but during the day it was hard to find a comfy ...

Easy embarkation would have been flawless if the terminal staff was educated on latitudes.Room availability and luggage delivery was startling quick.
Excellent food options with the exception of La Cucina. That was terrible. The menu options were bizarre and the flavor was exceptionally bland.
Le Bistro and Cagney’s were fantastic, as usual. They were clear that the charge would be made for ...

We chose this cruise for two reasons. 1st was the chance to go to Cabo San Lucas to whale watch. 2nd was the Panama Canal. Both were amazing and we are so glad we went.
The ship was good,although we did find the passageways to cabins stranger than usual with lots of corners and turns. Not a problem, just strange!
We ate most meals in Versailles main dining room, it stops us from being too ...

Wanted to sail the west side of California, and go through all three locks of the Panama Canal, ending in Miami. Entertainment was ok, but not as good as other cruises we have been on, Stateroom service was not as efficient as we have become accustomed too. Many of the excursions we went on were disappointing, with long rides to the destination, and then underperforming, The café dining was always ...
