Review summary

This was our 4th Norwegian cruise, and it was probably our most relaxing.  From the time we boarded until we departed the ship, we enjoyed every minute.  The food was delicious and healthy (we ate exclusively at the Market Buffet so we could get exactly what we wanted), the weather was gorgeous, and the ports we visited were very interesting.  Also the entertainment was top notch every night.  We love to walk, and so we were able to jog 2 miles every day on the jogging deck.  Nothing like being out at sea and breathing that fresh air.  The crew and service on board the Norwegian Star are fantastic.  We especially liked having the Ultimate Beverage Package since we are avid wine drinkers.  All in all, we had a fabulous time and look forward to our next Norwegian outing.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was roomy and comfortable. We were even able to keep the door open to the balcony occasionally to hear the waves.

Ship tip

Nice to be mid ship. Nice smooth ride. Loved walking on Deck 7, but wish smoking were totally prohibited. Maybe Norwegian should have a total ban on smoking on certain ships.

You need to take the tender from the ship into port. We didn't spend much time here.

Carambola Botanical Gardens were very nice. You get to sample the fruits that are growing at the end of your visit.
