Review summary

Great first cruise adeventure and so happy......we booked another cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The embarkation was confusing for a first time cruiser. It seemed that much of the processing could be moved to online checkin as part of a technology refresh and then just verify the information. This part was also extremely long given the small number of people in line. It seemed each person was taking 15+ minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining rooms had a great variety of food. It did seem to take longer than a resturant on land, but we were in no hurry.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

This was the best part....we were literally the second and third people off the ship and were back in our car driving home with our luggage within 45 minutes of arriving in port.

The Star was my favorite Norwegian ship and you are right their White Party is the best. I am surprised you weren't able to check in online we always do for any cruise line
