Review summary

The week was enjoyable once we got the hang of things like booking restaurant times early on. There is lots to do, and we got involved. Enjoyed one sunny day on the deck. Got enough tan for the week! Everything was spotless, and staff in all departments4558 working 24-7 to make us happy.

Did not miss a show, very entertaining. The casino was a little "tight" if you know what I mean but didn't give up all week. The buffet was great and always a place to sit. The food was super and lots to choose from. Enjoyed the evening meals and looked forward to the desserts. My room was always comfy and I slept like a baby with the waves rocking the boat.

 

We had a small health issue which the crew handled with a smile. They had such great teamwork to keep the rest of us healthy. We couldn't touch a bathroom outside door or a dish in the dining rooms. They did a super job for sure.

Would have liked a bigger window. Did not like porthole. Too old to climb up and look out. LOL The bathroom was a little small.

Ship tip

A good idea would be to reserve your meals in advance in the regular restaurants. We were not aware we could do so, and we ended up eating at 5:45 every night. Do not miss a show, they are excellent.

On the Star last week! First time with NCL and Freestyle dining. Went to Versailles, without reservation. Just two of us, line was crazy long and not moving. My husband scouted the Aqua line, long but moving faster, we ate there. We treated dining like we had on RC and HA. If we wanted a specific time, dialed the rest. hotline and booked it. Groups said they had no problems booking together

You should be able to get a table for your group but make sure u make reservations cuz you will have to wait a lot without reservation

Question: I am traveling with 13 people. I am a little worried about us all getting a table together for dinner. Any suggestions?
