Review summary

We had a fabulous time! Our ports of calls were beautiful. I missed Kotor, sinse they changed it to Bar. We left Venice later sinse it was a reggatta on the canals. (Not the cruise company's fault) Weather was perfect, sea was smooth as mirror . We always found food to our likings. Washy-washy at dining rooms to prevent spreading germs. Our Captain was very informative at port arrivals and always on time! That was our second time with Norvegian cruise line and we would go again with them without hesitation !

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was great at the buffets. We tried two specialty restaurants, food was good. I thought service could improve.. servers did the job but they are not professionals for sure.

Entertainment

We did not have kids with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My impression was that waiters, servers and people who cleaned the tables worked very hard, but some could use extra training, common sense.

5 out of 5
Everything was clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabine was nice, comfortable. Loved the fact that the toilet had a private door and bathroom was spacious. Enough space for putting clothes away in drowers and suitecase under bed.

Ship tip

Enjoy your time on Norvegian Star!

Ports of call

Venice, Italy

5 out of 5
We spent 2 days in Venice when arrived back from cruise. No excursions. Loved Venice, beautiful city. Very expensive but it was worth it!

Kotor, Montenegro Did not visit port

We went to Bar Montenegro instead. Very dissapointed about it! I was so looking foreard to Kotor!

Corfu, Greece

4 out of 5
Loved Corfu! We rented a car, drove around. No excursion!

Santorini, Greece

5 out of 5
Santorini was magical!!! We tendered and unfortunately took a long time to get off the ship. We took a speed boat from Fira to Oia, and later a bus ride back to Fira. Beautiful sunset! We walked down the donkey trail.. our shoes needed lot of scrubbing.. LOL

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
Mykonos was not my favorite, but that does not mean that Mykonos is not beautiful. We did some shopping and walked to the wind mills.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

5 out of 5
Short stay in Dubrovnik. It was raining, foggy. We took a cab to the city center and walked in Old town. I would like to go back and spend more time there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation means that you are going home... We left the ship with the last group. It was a bit crowded on the platform walking down the ship, it was raining, but everyone got a rain poncho from Norvegian Star.
