Review summary

After reading reviews of NCL Star i was a bit nervous. No idea what others problems are but the Star was amazing from embarkation to disembarking. If I had any complaints at all, and they would be very very small complaints is the wait staff was unsure on drinks and keeping water full, but this was extremely minor and with it being a very new crew we didn't find it to be of any inconvenience. The staff was very fun to talk to and we had a lot of good laughs with them. The entertainment on board was so so, but as this is mostly an older crowd and I have no previous references to NCL as it's my first time, I have no real complaints here. Would loved to have had at least one comedy show. The only real complaint we have is their air to sea program is not good at all. We asked to fly in 2 days early, they booked our hotel and then booked the flight for the day of. Took 3 weeks for them to say their was nothing they could do to fix it. We had to refund the 500 and pay 1500 for flights on our own. They at least gave us 2 cabin categories upgrade. In all, this was a fantastic cruise and don't mind using NCL again.

Ship tip

Deck 7 is the go too. Don't go to 6 if your going to the main dinning, you take 7 to aft and then down to 6.

USB port under the bedside lamp. The toilet has its own sliding door so you can have privacy if someone needs to use the mirror or what not. Just thought it was a cool idea. We rented a car since we flew in 2 days earlier and drove around. Flowers for the queens funeral where everywhere. All chocolate.
