Norwegian Star

Sail date: December 02, 2007

Ship: Norwegian Star

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Large Group

Review summary

The ship was beautiful, although not the prettiest I have ever seen. Still, for the price, it was amazing. Rooms were a little small so that when 2 beds were used, the bar with blow dryer should have been shortened by 6 inches or more so that the other person in the room could get by. Bathrooms were wonderful -- the best I've seen on a ship. Shopping was a disappointment -- not a very friendly staff and not nearly the stock seen on other ships such as more special upscale cruise t-shirts, bathing suits, luggage.

Ports of call

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Saw this port on our own and enjoyed it more. Hired a taxi to take us to the beach, a good restaurant and shopping areas. Got to see and do exactly what we wanted. Have been to P/V several time so was familiar with what was available.
Don't Miss: The promenade along the ocean.

Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Mexico

Tour was pretty good. Saw quite a bit in a limited time.

Acapulco, Mexico

Took the historical tour -- spent too much time at the chapel -- could have seen it from the distance -- no mention of the many celebrity homes we could have seen -- would have loved more history and more sight-seeing of beautiful homes in the area.
Don't Miss: The old hotel.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
Did our own thing there. Walked to shopping and Cabo Wabo. Others in party did the snorkeling and beach scene and loved it.
