Europe Norwegian Star Europe Cruise Reviews

About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 60th voyage. Over half of my sailings have been with NCL, however, I have sailed on other cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC and Carnival. This cruise was my first cruise as a Diamond Latitudes member with NCL. My reviews are written in chronological order of events as they took place on the ship. ...

We had an unexpected two weeks off and asked our travel agent to find a good deal for a cruise. The travel agent found a Norwegian cruise on the Norwegian Star leaving Southampton on October 23, 2023. We had never sailed with Norwegian before and were open to trying it out. We've sailed previously with Carnival, Celebrity, Oceania, Princess and Royal Caribbean. We have not cruised since 2018 so we ...

Saturday, September 23 I am John and my wife, Eve, took this cruise after spending a day touring London. The drive to the port from our London hotel was 2 hours away. NCL wanted everyone on board by 2 pm, so we knew it would be tight. We were making good time until we got off and hit Southampton local traffic, then everything turned to a crawl. Later, we found that there was a boat show going ...

This was a very special cruise for us. We were looking forward to it for a long time and actually cancelled another cruise that made two stops in Greenland to do this cruise since it not only stopped in Greenland but also ported in Iceland with three stops around the island. Embarkation was totally unorganized. Just a little communication would have done wonders. Instead, when the large tented ...

Booked this trip for July 2023 because of the great itinerary. The Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful. Cabins were clean and the ship was nice. The excursion desk really bent over backwards to adjust when port calls were cancelled due to weather/sea ice (sucks but no one's fault). Specialty restaurants were quite good particularly Le Bistro. Cons: The complementary food was meh. Norwegian ...

I had a great trip overall. The crew, fellow passengers, and destination made the investment a win The interest free payments also helped, and I thought that was a great option provided by NCL. The ship's crew was friendly, and the solo traveler activities were enjoyable. The atmosphere for solo travelers allowed people of all ages to hang out together organically and have a great time, regardless ...

The itinerary for this cruise was to circumnavigate Ireland it was this fact along with drinks package that we chose this sailing. Apart from one port Killy Begs the visits were good. Fellow passengers were great company and that was all I can say positively. Food was just OK the ship is quite tiered and the ocean view staterooms small. The every day staff waiters cabin stewards all ...

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 ...

This November/December, my partner and I (age 40 & 32), along with my parents (age older) were fortunate enough to spend two weeks on board the beautiful Norwegian Star as she transversed the Atlantic on her repositioning voyage from Lisbon to Rio De Janeiro – our first transatlantic crossing. While we had our reservations embarking upon a cruise with so many sea days, we had a wonderful time and ...

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 ...
