Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Norwegian Star

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This isn't your ordinary kick back by the pool in the sunshine and be pampered cruise itinerary. It goes to ANTARCTICA! For many on the ship who are frequent travelers, this was the final destination, the SEVENTH continent to visit. The destination is unique. The itinerary is grueling: it crosses The Drake Passage- where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans converge. Some days, it's a "lake". ...

Captain Skips Ports! 'nuf said!

This captain skips ports. What else can be said about a cruise billed as a voyage to Antarctica and the Falklands Islands but skips the Falklands and cuts out a day in Antarctica. I'm sure most people lined up to pay $$$ to see eight days in a row of the South Atlantic. No? Probably not. I hear there's a line forming onboard to join a class action lawsuit organized by some of the passengers. Rude ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My 2nd ever cruise and first on a so-called Prestige Line ship. Voyager as a ship was tired and clearly in need of refurbishment. TV swung from side to side even on a moderate swell giving sleepless nights. Balcony door wouldn't lock. The so-called exclusive toiliteries (shampoo and soap) were of a quality found in cheap motels forcing us to buy from the Spa Shop. The staff servicing the ...

We are experienced travelers on both ocean and river cruises as well as independent travel over the past 20 years. This was our fourth cruise with Oceania, we did two before COVID and one after; but this was the first on Marina. We selected this cruise because of the itinerary which included the fjords of southern Chile and Antarctica. Our previous cruises with Oceania were on the smaller ships ...

We were meant to go on this trip in 2022 but Covid got in the way. So we were really looking forward to this cruise. Given the brochures outlined that we were going to experience the finest cuisine on the seas we had very high expectations. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed. We would advise anyone thinking of booking a cruise with Oceania don't do it on the basis of their promises ...

Disappointing and we won't be sailing with Celebrity for a while.

First off, we're experienced cruisers. This was #31 across all brands but mainly with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. It was also our third Celebrity cruise in the last 6 months. This cruise gets 2 stars. One for the itinerary which was outstanding (Antarctica) and was the reason we took the cruise. The second star is for the crew. Even though they appeared to be significantly understaffed and ...

We wanted to go to see penguins and visit Antarctic. We were informed by Celebrity 7 days before departure that the ship was having propulsion issues, but we were not allowed to cancel the cruise. We ended up missing 2 and 1/2 ports. There were only four ports of call. We did go to Antarctic, which was great, but we missed seeing any Rookeries for the penguins. This was very disappointing. ...

Shame on you Celebrity

It is mind blowing that a cruise line could allow a ship with serious propulsion problems to head down to Antarctica. And greed can be the only motive. Crew and staff and food were excellent but that misses the point. The fact that two ports of call were missed and one stop curtailed tells its own story. And it was also interesting to hear the cruise director and presenter Mickey Live begging us ...

I have read the other reviews on this cruise and would agree that most of the amenities and customer service on board were quite good. Food, accommodation, entertainment, destination information from MickeyLive etc. all very acceptable. The problem is that it is not a cruise one buys just to get away and relax and be entertained. This cruise is destination specific and contains locations that ...
