Review summary
Overall, we thought the cruise NCL Star cruise to the Western Caribbean was well run and enjoyable. But unlike our experience on the NCL Sun cruise to Alaska, the Star seemed to fill all public spaces with loud music night and day. Who really needs to hear cheesy recorded hiphop when they're eating breakfast, or hear some loud band playing old covers when they're enjoying an afternoon drink at an inside bar? At times it was even difficult to communicate with staff at the admin desk because of the constant racket in the atrium. This obsession with background noise seems especially inappropriate when you consider the advanced age of the average passenger. In our opinion, the Star needs to provide more quiet times and spaces for people who simply want to read, doze or have normal conversations, without having to retreat to some remote corner of the deck. Maybe this would apply to other cruise ships as well.
