Review summary

The relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere was appreciated. We had a wonderful time. This was my last wedding gift to my granddaughter and her new husband and a gift of relaxation for my daughter. We loved Cabo...a little nervous about Puerto Vallarta. The casino had too much smoke. Need non-smoking as well as smoking.There are some maintenance issues--broken window in dining area floor 12, loose hand rail and seats need repaired in theatre. Loved some of the dishes. Missed getting to know our waiters as we do on other cruise lines--not as connected to us. Wish the tips were built into the price; don't like it as an add on. The rum and raisin ice cream--incredible. No on bingo.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Just didn't like same lunch menu all the time. Food was always great!!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The "white" snowy show was inspiring. Love singing and dancing...suggest top performer highlighted, like Elvis, Elton John, Shania Twain, country western or a slice of all.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Didn't get to know most of them; our room steward was incredibly quiet and nice. The room service (food) folks were nice and on time.

Loved the sand sculptures and the artist who drew us. Didn't feel quite 100% safe there.

Pros: Spending time with family

Cons: Same Lunch Menu All Days

Recommends Norwegian Star? No.
