better than expected
"Specialty restaurants - le bistro was very nice, comparable to a good french restaurant on land; cagneys steakhouse - not quite the same as a good one on land, but definitely nothing to complain about; tepanayaki - avoid at all costs, food absolutely disgusting, much worse than anything else on ship; hibachi performance was very questionable at best.This would actually be useful for people who had flight from Tromso at 6/7am (one of the very few flights out of Tromso on that day) since the disembarkation started at 3am; however when enquired before sailing the people at the call center said that the disembarkation would be at 6am the earliest, so we decided not to book the early morning flight, but it turned out you could even get an official transfer from the ship at that time...."Read More

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, sailing dates, and to use a 20% discount certificate that was issued by NCL due to canceling the Epic's winter Mediterranean sailings. The terms were rather restrictive and this sailing qualified. We booked about 3 months ahead, so we were within the final payment date and could only use one CruiseNext certificate. NCL would not budge on this, despite ...

Loved the destinations but the ship and amenities were terrible. The only great things onboard were the dancers and singer shows. What’s the good thing about using food clips to pickup your food when most people are coughing in their hands? There has to be a better way of serving. The wines were the cheapest I ever had. The package they sell is worthless. NCL has skimped on all their services even ...

We were a family of 4 (husband and I in a midship club balcony suite and my 86-year-old mother-in-law and young sister-in-law a little further along the corridor in adjoining forward club balconies). We had three nights in Tromso pre cruise at the Clarion Collection With hotel – we have stayed here before for four nights in early 2020 in a quest to see the Northern lights and it is warm and ...

For perspective, this was my first time cruising on Norwegian, and I have cruised previously on Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. My husband and I found a fantastic last minute deal on the Norwegian Star for a Norway/Iceland cruise during Aug./Sept. 2023. Given the low price we paid, and given my incoming lower image of Norwegian, I was very pleasantly surprised overall at the ...

Given the reviews here was expecting the worst, but overall it was actually quite ok. Given the amazing ports and more than reasonable price, I am pretty satisfied in the end.
Itinerary: Reykjavík to Tromso via Svalbard. 3 days at sea which was a good break between all the excursions. 3 of the ports were tendered - but only the very first one was somewhat chaotic. The only issue was that they ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
I chose this cruise due to the itinerary, including Greenland, The Lofoten Islands of Norway, and The Shetlands. Before the cruise even began, Greenland and the Lofoten ports were dropped with no explanation, and the Shetland stop was canceled after we had literally arrived. There were supposed to be no sea days, but we ended up spending 20% of the cruise on sea days. Absolutely nothing to do on ...

The cruise originally had a stop in Greenland, but somewhere between inquiring and booking, this stop was removed from the itinerary which was somewhat disappointing.
There are television screens in a lot of the bars that play a 24 hour sports channel. This would have been worth an extra point, but in none of the bars did they allow the volume to be on. Given the programming of the sports ...

We recently had a very disappointing cruise on the NCL Star in July 2023. We have been on many NCL cruises dating back to 1996 on the Seaward and we have come to like a great many things about NCL cruises. One of the best was on the Jewel in 2019 to Australia and SE Asia. NCL has been one of our favorite cruise lines.
Our disappointment with our cruise to Iceland and Norway in July 2023 began ...

Iceland, Greenland, and all the icebergs were beautiful to see and great to experience. With a full ship, the additional sea days did make us ready to get off. I also felt bad for the crew that did not get as many breaks from us. We missed 2 ports due to icebergs and 1 due to too rough to tender. The Captain noted that they looked at ice charts for the last 10 years and never saw that much ice at ...

I am writing about my journey on the Norwegian Star that departed Reykjavik for three destinations in Iceland and three ports in Greenland from July 13 to 23, 2023.
I traveled on several cruise ships before, but the NCL was the worst of all these experiences.
I hardly know where to begin, since there were so many issues.
I took this cruise with my extended family and some friends (10 ...
