Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews

We recently sailed on Norwegian Star from Tampa, Florida to Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel. We have only every sailed on Royal Carribean Freedom and Oasis(x2). So this was our first midsize ship. So not only was it our first time on a smaller ship but also on Norwegian. Restaurants The ship had been recently renovated to include updates to some of the restaurants such as the ...

Just went on our very first cruise. I was so nervous after reading the reviews on this site but it was already booked so we had to go.........thank goodness! It was absolutely wonderful. I was blown away by how amazing this experience was. We took 11 family members and we had the best family vacation ever. I was amazed by the quality and quantity of food. Of note: I have numerous allergies, ...

This is only my 2nd cruise. But I felt this cruise was a good value for the money. The ship was smaller than my first but I found to be still a fun trip. The ports were great. The ship's entertainment was great. It was a nice routine to get into eating and then going to the shows in the main theatre or at night club area for the fun game shows. I found the smaller ship more personal ...

We are a mid-20s couple who love cruising! We booked the NCL Star cruise while on board the NCL Getaway in September 2015. We wanted to experience the difference between a mega ship and a smaller ship. We loved that the Start had been recently refurbished, and the price was right for peak season (January). We did learn that there are clear advantages to the larger ships, however, you make your own ...

I have cruised before on another cruise lines smaller ships and was disappointed with the ship. With Norwegian I have sailed on the Breakaway and Getaway and loved them so I decide to try a smaller ship and take the western Caribbean trip on the Norwegian Star. Although we has some rough weather (not the cruise lines fault) we had a great time. There was a good show every night of the trip. ...

Our experience aboard the NCL Star was a great one...with only one exception. We found the ship layout to be wonderful and easy to get around. The restaurants were good with the Versailles being our favorite in terms of ambiance, service and wait times. The Aqua main dining room is nice but it felt like it was closer quarters and the noise level could get a bit much. O'sheehan's Irish Pub is ...

I am happy to report that the service was great and the food was good. I read reviews of the NCL Star from earlier in the fall and there seemed to be some issues with lines for drinks, etc. I can report there were no excessive lines to get beverages. I even noticed that late in the afternoon the pool bar started to get a line. The assistant beverage manager walked into the area, grabbed her ...

Background information : sadly our passports were lost on our way to the cruise ship. We were informed by NCL that we could not board without them. After searching frantically and after many desparate phone calls we called and canceled our cruise. On the way to the airport to return home, we received a joyous call....the passports had been found! We raced to the cruise terminal,the whole time ...

this is our fist time on a Norwegian ship and we liked the star. our pervious trip was on the carnival paradise out of the same port. The difference was night and day. The boarding process was seamless. the staff at the port were very upbeat and friendly. once on the ship. we went to our balcony cabin. The cabin was in the front of the ship and sadly felt the motion of this ship. it was a nice ...

I almost did not book this cruise because of some of the very bad reviews on this site. This was my first NCL cruise. I have cruised Carnival and RC in the past. This cruise was one of my favorites. The only issue we had the entire time was a missing bath towel and sheet for out bed. These occurred on the same night, and still can't figure out what was going on since the room steward did a ...
