Review summary

This was such a wonderful cruise we booked it again. Nice ship, absolutely wonderful crew from the captain on down. Superior itinerary.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Getting aboard was quick and easy. Walked into the terminal, showed our boarding pass, and strolled aboard. 10 minutes at the most.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room meals were pretty good, as was Chops. Windjammer buffet was mediocre, especially at breakfast (scrambled eggs swam in water), though the grilled tomatoes were excellent. Jamie's Italian wasn't all that impressive to us.

The Northstar is awesome!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
'We Will Rock You" and "The Gift" was great. "Spectra's Cabaret" was ok, but you have to have a taste for it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The entire crew was excellent. Every last one of them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy to learn your way around. Ship is very clean, but in need of some refreshing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great location, very clean, a little small but no problem. Bathroom a bit cramped.

Easy as could be. Luggage was where it was supposed to be. Only issue was shuttle back to where our car was parked was hard to find, May use the port garage next time.
