Norwegian Star Review

Additional details
My husband and I have been on four cruises—three of which were on Norwegian. We have found that the freestyle cruising concept works really well for us and that the service is always great. We have tried different cabins for each cruise and decided to try a family suite for this vacation.
We flew into LAX the day before and took a limousine to the Hyatt Long Beach where we met the rest of our family. The Hyatt was a perfect location since it is surrounded by restaurants, the pier boardwalk, and also the Aquarium of the Pacific. After eating lunch we went to the Aquarium which I would recommend buying tickets online since they are less expensive. The exhibits are extensive and it is definitely worth the money to see. That evening we all walked to Islands Burgers and retired early.
After checking out the next morning we took a limousine to the San Pedro Pier, which is about a 15 minute drive. It is much easier with 7 people and luggage to take the limousine especially if you have small children since they will supply a car seat if needed.
Cabin Review
This was our first experience having a suite and we were not disappointed at all. The room is 409 square feet with floor to ceiling windows. The views are breathtaking! There is plenty of storage in the main cabin as well as in the his/her closets located near the bathroom. The bathroom does have a tub and separate shower with two sinks. My husband and I found that the bathroom to be a wonderful upgrade. Although this room can hold 6 I think it would be tight--four seems like it would work better. I would also recommend bringing curtain ties so that you maximize your windows. We brought 4 and it worked great. We would definitely book this cabin again. It is well worth it!
