Have done over thirty cruises with Carnival, Holland, Princess, and Royal Caribbean, while this was the tenth cruise with Norwegian. We had the opportunity to book a suite for the first time which was a definite upgrade from the normal balcony. The suite was magnificent and the balcony was large enough for two chairs, a table, and lounger. The service could not have been any better from the cabin stewards, to our butler, and our concierge. Specialty Dining was delicious. Ultimate drink package was exceptional valve and the port excursion credits and free wifi were all part of the package. Combining our onboard credit with the excursion credits, we were able to do six shore excursions, dining package, wifi, drink package, thermal spa pass, and a two hour massage for all under fifty dollars! The benefits we received MORE THAN made up for the higher price of the suite, which was also secured on sale. For a smaller ship the STAR serves its purpose of getting passengers to their ports in a timely manner for its itinerary.
