Norwegian Star

11 Night Greek Isles & Turkey (Rome To Athens)

Sail date: November 05, 2022

Ship: Norwegian Star

Traveled as: Singles/Friends

Reviewed: 1 year ago

Review summary

The cruise company was disorganized as a whole. We booked excursions separately from the ship as they were much cheaper and as a result the crew didn’t know where to send us and give us bad information. The passport pick up was a total disaster. Poor planning and organizing skills.

Great food and staff.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Activities lacked in every way. Bad entertainment, spa thermal pool was cold, internet never worked. Alls they do is try to sell you stuff, like the next cruise on their ship.
