In general, we had a great time but the staff put a damper on our experience. The ship was nice, our room was clean. We did Excursions at all three stops and had a great time at all the stops. Now the Staff. Our steward barely talks to us and never ask if we need anything or how was the room. Most of our dining experience was poor except at the Japanese restaurant. The waiters and waitress seem ...
The itinerary was nice. The ship layout was very nice. The services... well.... here's my cruise...
My flight down to FL was cancelled due to weather. yea, stuff happens. No problem, I purchased NCL travel insurance that included travel interruption protection. Or so I thought. Since I didn't purchase my flight through NCL, as far as their insurance is concerned (or as far as that agent ...
Staff was great...hands down. All of our interactions were wonderful and the other passengers had great stories to tell. The food was decent to good and we only ate in the main dining room and the buffet. I personally was caught off guard because the main dining room was actually enforcing the dress code. I've been on about 15 cruises and was pleasantly surprised by this, even though it affected ...
We went on this cruise to celebrate our Anniversary and Birthdays. To make it special, we booked a suite and overall, we really had a wonderful time.
To keep this short and sweet - the best highlights.
- booking a suite is definitely worth it! From having a butler, a big room with a gorgeous balcony to having amazing perks like daily afternoon snacks, priority seating, embarkation and ...
My husband is not fond of large crowds so we mainly chose NCL Star because of the smaller capacity. It was also a plus that the interior had been newly renovated.
The Star Atrium was impressive from the start. When we got to our room, it was better than expected. Comfortable bed and pillows, descent storage and nice bathroom, especially loved the shower head-good water pressure.
We ...
We chose this cruise because we thought that it would be a nice relaxing cruise on a smaller ship. My wife and I have been on over twenty cruises, and are platinum members on NCL. We have previously sailed on NCL Epic, Escape, Bliss, and Getaway. We have also sailed on Princess, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Carnival and Celebrity. I get so much information from all the people on Cruise ...
First time to Carribbean, … wanted some sea days.
Night-prior hoteled over at Embassy in Miami airport, which was a disappointing experience.
After taking Embassy's $10/pp transfer to the terminal, the trip started.
Embarkation went like clockwork. Don't know why NCL encouraged us to print out our 'documents', as they were never asked for or viewed by anyone other than us.
NCL did it ...
We love the islands, weather and NCL. It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we have taken previous cruises on our 20th and 25th anniversary. We have never been disappointed. The on board staff are amazing people an a credit to NCL. The food, entertainment, bars, restaurants all exceeded our expectations again. The overall value is good and I highly recommend the owners suites. They are spacious ...
We had two separate rooms that were on opposite sides of the ship, but at least on the same floor. Alberto my cabin steward (8176) was amazing always smiled, made sure we had everything we needed. Dining was extremely slow in both main dining rooms and even worse was O'sheehans. Food was mostly good though. Breakfast at Versailles was typical cold by the time we got it. Dinner took at least 2 ...
My wife and I sailed with the Star to the Caribbean.
We had a good time, meet new friends and enjoyed the cruise.
We had a small issue with our cabin. After embarkation in Jamaica, the crew did not tie up the ramp properly. We had 2 nights at sea with a lot of noise. Then after visiting Aruba, the ramp was tied up properly and the noise disappeared. The problem came back after the next ...
