Venice to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We chose this ship and cruise line because we cruised 4 years ago on this ship and really enjoyed it. This time, however, was a completely different experience. We had been delayed getting to Venice to meet the ship because of Air Traffic Control glitch that had affected the UK but we had booked through NCL so they got us alternative flights the next day to meet the ship in Dubrovnik. We were ...

7th time sailing with Norwegian and might not be sailing with them again. Main buffet hall closed more than open, pool way to small for so many people, if you or anyone going, smoke than dont go on the viva, smoking area was dangerous and very slippy, deck was power hosed with people trying to walk across the wet deck and wet stairs, pointed this out and was totaly fobbed off,to little bar staff ...

Chose the ship to revisit the Mediterranean. Big mistake. Hair in the food on embarkation lunch. Hair in the food in the main dining room. Ship is very old with tattered carpet and chairs in the theater. If this is a refurbished ship, it needs to be retired. Boring cruise, Director with little to no interaction with us on the ship. Entertainment venues were mediocre at best. One night they just ...

Very smooth experience priority boarding in terminal. I had booked two suites and the Aurea experience, so we had a nice check in. It ended there as there was a long queue and wait for the tender. Apparently, the boat was late arriving and therefore late disembarking. These things happen but we weren't informed and had to sit freezing on the tender for over two hours and felt very ...

Except for one waiter at Magenta (from Zimbabwe) and the man of room service, everything was worse. Guest service isn't prepared. I paid one coffee at Starbucks and the system didn't recognize it, then I asked for help. The man at the balcony was very rude, saying I had to pay and I didn't want to. No one gives a damn when you ask for the manager, they offer you to write a letter and send a ln ...

We chose Norwegian Star because of the price was right. But the saying goes you get what you pay for. Let me start by saying that if you expect help from personnel if you contract Covid on the ship, you are badly fooling yourself. Let me tell you, as for a health care professional for 40 years, sanitation is the least of there worries. I went on board on April 13, 2022 in Venus, Croatia, ...

We found out two days before the cruise that we were not going to two of the destinations at all and all of the other port times have been altered considerably to be shorter due to a mechanical problem with our ship. Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the safety of the boat. No offer to reschedule or change to another cruise which we couldn’t do anyway because when we found out we were ...

When we arrived on board it was complete chaos, I was shocked. There was a lineup wrapping around the main level of the ship interfering with the passages to the gangway, due to all the number of complaints. People were yelling, crying, and were utterly miserable. No smiles or laughter to be seen or heard from both staff and guests. When approaching the Customer Service desk the staff ...

In my opinion, my best advice would be to stay away from Norwegian all together and sail with another cruise line. If you must sail with Norwegian, I wouldn't recommend sailing on the Norwegian Star. For starters, we arrive and are told 2 ports have been eliminated from our cruise, Kotor, Montenegro and Santorini, Greece. Missing Santorini upset so many. it was a highlight stop of this cruise. ...

First get a email when leaving Florida to got to Venice Italy that ports have been canceled and hours taken for or their ports. Shop was supposedly broke. Tipped on it side going in to port dishes flying off the shelf. If you like to be bored go on NCL star. And for cancel the ports they gave us fifty dollars a person . Room had a leak wet our clothes o e good thing was our clothes got clean. ...
