Review summary

We seem to enjoy the smaller cruise ships more than the gigantic ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very good

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room menu food choices were repetitive not so good for an 11 day cruise. Windjammer food not that good. Bar drinks were very skimpy compared to NYC bars & just as expensive. Didn't drink many alcoholic beverages because of this.

Onboard Activities

Pools ok. Walking/jogging paths good. Northern Star interesting.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our wait staff was excellent & were both highly professional, friendly while being very busy. The Windjammer wait staff was also excellent & very busy. And, our room steward Ron was also very professional & friendly in spite of also bring very busy. It seems that the ship is too big & is short on staffing.
