Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was ok. There is a premium charge to eat at the higher end restaurants, which you are not aware of upfront. To actually pay a charge for soda is crazy, considering the cost of going on a cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

On board entertainment was great. Can't blame NCL for the excursions, since it its your choice.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

I was concerned about my daughter, who is 7, being entertained, but they had specific activities for children.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Not sure I experienced above and beyond.

Ship Quality

Star is a good ship to cruise on

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Happy with the size of the stateroom. Problem was the location. We were on deck 11 and there were no rooms, but we heard loud noises every night. Try to avoid state room 11660
