I cruised many times before but first time with Norwegian and it was not good experience. Food: - Garden Cafe buffet was way below average and mostly asian cuisine. Only soup made for your request was delicious. - O' Sheehan's Bar& Grill had very limited choices of food the same below of average quality - Special dining in Le Bistro was satisfactory. Ginza was just ok. - Versailles ...

We have just experienced six weeks cruising on the NCL Star chosen for the itinerary. The refurbished ship is basic, clean. and most staff are friendly. Staterooms are about 1/2 the size of a standard hotel room; comfortable with basic amenities, but not very soundproof. Hopefully your neighbours on all four sides are respectful and considerate of others. The Bliss Lounge is now dark without ...

We thought we liked the itinerary - 10 day cruise from Venice to Barcelona with a different port everyday. We wore ourselves out and did not have the discipline not to get off the ship every day. Just couldn’t resist at least seeing the port. Next time I will choose ships with at least 2 sea days on a 10 day cruise. Ports we liked: Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor: each of which we did either a hop on/hop ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I chose to schedule this—my first—cruise trip, to spend some time with good friends and visit places I've never seen. I was especially interested in visiting Santorini, Greece and Montenegro. Nevertheless, I was disappointed when, after starting the trip, was informed that both destinations were cancelled. Furthermore, the reasons were generic/non-specific and only given thru a letter left at my ...

CUTBACKS ON PORTS, CUTBACKS ON TIME THERE, a $100 on-ship compensation?

This is a review about Norwegian, not the Star especially. Because of mechanical issues, it was said, a Nov. 10-22 cruise from Venice to Barcelona, had too many changes. We started with ONE at-sea day and ended up with THREE. NCL dropped Kotor, Montenegro and Santorini, Greece, precisely why most of us went! This was a big blow. And the changes were advised one day before we left Venice, so no ...

This cruise for our time line for our group and went to ports we wanted to see. Or at least it was supposed to. A week before we flew to Venice we got notified that there were “technical issues“ with the ship and would be missing two ports. They also shortened the time in the rest of the ports we were scheduled to actually visit. For this we got only a $100 non refundable onboard credit. We ...

Bad communication, but great crew

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

We had a wonderful time on our cruise. However, when the boat shook in the middle of the night, “code bravo” was said over the intercom and there was very poor communication. We were only told that there were “mechanical issues.” This caused wild gossip throughout passengers on the ship, which could have ceases with proper communication. The truth probably wasn’t as bad as the stories people were ...

We sailed NCL once before and loved the itinerary. We like the itinerary scheduled for this cruise but found it disappointing on several stops. 1st, the stop to Kotor was canceled but the excuse given was that the departure from Venice was delayed 2hrs. I take issue with the cancelation since we made a two hour stop at a port just beyond Kotor and arrived there about 6 hours before we were ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. It is a great way to get a taste of the Greek Islands and Croatia. Would definitely come back and spend a few days in a couple of the destinations. The Norwegian Star is a nice ship with recent upgrades. Our mini suite cabin and spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of storage for our family of 3. We have sailed with Norwegian before, and ...

Our friends had a destination wedding in Santorini and we were invited to attend as a guest. Always wanted to visit Italy and Greece and thought this was a great chance to do that. We had been on one Cruise before with another company and had a great experience. Unfortunately, this trip did not rank as highly as our 1st cruise did with another company. Food was average, service was very slowww, ...
