Just an average trip but for the price it was worth it.

11 Night Southern Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip)

Sail date: November 19, 2018

Ship: Norwegian Star

Cabin type: Inside

Cabin number: 10511

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 6 years ago

Review summary

Our cabin had a bunkbed which prevented the two beds from being put together as there was no room on either side. This is the smallest cabin I've ever had on any ship. We just disliked having a different table and waiter at every meal. Some meals were not hot at all Due to the slow service.

Ship tip

Do not bring wine as the corkage fee is excessive. I my inside cabin had a bunkbed which prevented the two beds from being a full bed. The smallest room I've ever had on any ship

We cruised with NCL Star two years ago and have only good memories. Our oceanview room was not large but enough for us with good storage. We had a bunk bed up but our beds were pushed together. The food in MDR was very good and we usually sat in our fav. waiter's section.

NCL doesn't have a set times. You do make reservations for specialty restaurants.

Oops... You will either need to choose a set time or request the same server and WAIT until one of their tables opens up.

But... Didn't you choose the cabin and the dinning time? "Your time" dinning doesn't assign a table like a set dinning time would. So... If you want the same wait staff nightly, you will need to choose a set

The Norwegian Star is my least favorite ship. That said, it is up to you to know what each cabin looks like and if it suits your needs. As for the dining, it is up to you to select the type of dining you want, whether you want a specific time, place and who you want to sit with. So if you don't make specific dining arrangements, then don't complain.
