Review summary

Compare with my previous experience on the Norwegian Star last year, this cruise is more inferior. This is especially on the fine dining in either the Windows nor the Gardens. At the Baltic Cruise last year, we get to eat lobster but not the Mediterranean Cruise. The foods in Shogun are prepared by non Chinese or Japanese we learnt that the chef was a Filipino. My group of 18 complained right from the first dish that the food is salty and despite our request for the chef to cut back on salt, the foods remained Salty. Most food were rejected.

Ship Quality

acceptable but the reception areas in deck 7 can be improved.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Acceptable. What's lacking is no tooth brush and paste.

Ship tip

The Reception areas and the General areas at deck 8 need better decoration. Norwegian Star though equally old and small does look better.
