Review summary

It was our first time cruising with Norwegian "Star" and it will not be our last. We were very impressed with the quality of food. Our cabin "junior suite" 4 people, 2 adults and 2 kids, 12 & 7 was big enough for the 7 days. My in laws were next door and were told our balcony separator could not open which we have done on Carnival and Disney, one small disappointment. The staff was very good on a whole. Most of our wait staff in all of the dining venues were extremely helpful. The waiter we had in Moderno, the Brazilian style steakhouse was not. Cagneys was outstanding for a steakhouse at sea. The one negative about the ship or staff was that they did not do enough around the pool area except on the one sea day. They could have and should have done more. The kids utilized the kids club as much as possible when we were on the ship as they had lots of fun. One negative about the kids club on this cruise is that they close the kids club from 5-7PM nightly except the first night so make sure you plan adult dinners outside of those times. The ports of call, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Katakalon"Olympia", Piraeus "Athens", and Split all had some beauty or history. Athens as a whole was disappointing as to how dirty, and unhappy the people were. The historic sites were great though. Overall we were very happy and will cruise with Norwegian again.
