Norwegian Star

8 Night Mexican Riviera (Los Angeles Roundtrip)

Sail date: October 23, 2007

Ship: Norwegian Star

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Beautiful ship, very clean, modern, very nice, cozy areas, not overstated, great gym, good array of restaurants(although the buffet and main dining food could be better, not bad, pretty good), staff very attentive and courteous. Would have liked a better after hours "coffee shop" type of place onboard, the 24 hr diner is cramped and only a handful of greasy items, decent but not great. Room service did not offer hot items, nor a full breakfast. we have been on Princess and Royal Carribbean , their buffets and room service menus are better.

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

get a cab, go to downtown, again, beautiful church, a nice naval museum operated by the navy(it's free) and get away from senor frog, hooters etc, go a couple of blocks in and some great food and shops.
Don't Miss: the chruch and and the pedestrian walk along the beach

Acapulco, Mexico

5 out of 5
Must see the divers, it's really cool, the fort/mueum,really nice. Tarzan's house, kinda funky and nice views
