Review summary

There was a fire in the engine room, but we weren’t told about it. It only said a mechanical issue. Didn’t stop at Dubrovnik which was why we took this cruise. Very disappointed. We only got $100/ person refund. We don’t care about $100. We wanted to visit Dubrovnik. We found Out about the fire after disembarkation, on the cruise news.

Not too much variety. Breakfast was always the same. Soups were always salty. Noodle soup tasted unlike Asian noodles. Awful.

Thank you for your review. Which you are entitled to leave, with your own experiences. Some people on here are just rude. The star needs to retire, too many issues . We also found the front desk, one woman in particular would be avoided by people who had obviously had dealings with her previously,was very moody and unpleasant.

When you book you are told changes to your itinerary can happen. No refunds are due for this reason. If you really want to go somewhere, you need to go there on vacation.

Of all those famous ports you only cared about Debrovnik? Why is that? Most people have never heard of it.

Ships engines broke down and we had to return to Venice

Great way to see various ports

Wonderful Greek Isle cruise except the NCL STAR missed one port (Dubrovnik) due to the ship's technical issue. The $100 compensation NCL gave for missing 1 of 5 ports is NOT a fair and equitable compensation.
