We stayed in an aft Balcony of the ship - a great spot.

The Star made a good impression, but not the excellent impression as I have had on other cruise ships. The ship's excursions are pricey. Thank goodness, we did good in shopping for outside tours in our pre-cruise planning. They are both cheaper and tour group sizes are small. And with a embarkment from Copenhagen you sure want to ship around for your pre-cruise and post-cruise planning in Copenhagen for it is extremely expensive. Leaving the ship for a port excursion needs to be better organized for safety and efficiency, because everyone wants to begin their excursion tour time as early as possible. The deadlines to be back on the ship always seem to be too early. The embarkation from the Copenhagen Freeport pier seems remote. If you plan to take the train to Nordhavn station to get there, beware that you will need to lug your baggage about 0.6 miles to the ship. A free shuttle offering would have been great .

On my next cruise, I will be particularly thinking about booking on some smaller size cruise ship. Seems like the smaller vessels are able to moor much closer to the cities visited that might allow walking distance hop-off and hop-on. Read more
