Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall we had a good time and the opportunity to visit 8 countries in 10 days.

The cruise was wonderful. So many countries were visited. 8 countries in 10 days.

My only negative comment about the cruise is that I booked my excursions about a month before and there were not many choices online. Once we got on the ship we realized that they had a lot more options then and I wish I didn't book so early. I normally would be buying the excursions ahead of time so I don't end up without it or filled up too quickly, but in this case was disappointing because we would have like to have other options for the first port. we end up changing some of the excursions later on the trip.

We loved this cruise. The quality of the ship experience was tops and the excursions were well worth it.

Company has serious issue with refusing to refund port taxes for cancelled port visits. Every staff member says they should be refunded. Appeals to HQ ignored or denied. Company increased mandatory gratuities, yet staff do not receive them. Many had pay cut and work load increased. Pay substantial additional fee for butler and concierge service which they don’t receive. Medical staff was excellent. Fees, especially for tests are outrageous.

The best itinerary we've ever had. Greenland, Iceland were areas like no other. Simply breathtaking scenery..

About the worst cruise we have ever had, and we won;t consider NCL again.

some of the port dis embarkment were chaotic. Some of the on board activities were in room locations too small to accommodate participants.

Bland, tasteless food. Lack of variety. All healthy food options ruined with unhealthy toppings. Ran out of yogurt and fresh fruits. Almost all the fruit came from cans.

John (JC) was a great solo travelers group coordinator. He made the cruise much more enjoyable for a solo traveler like me. I would recommend NCL for solo travelers that like to meet new people.

Out of 60+ cruises, this probably was the best service. We had some snow flurries in Longyearbyen, so bring heavy clothes. It would have been better if we spent the night in Reykjavik, and did some tours there instead of Isafjordur or Honningsvag. Ginza had great food, along w/the specialty restaurants.

The ports where the stand out of this cruise. The ship and staff are less stand out. We encountered some rude staff. Took forever and was a hassle to get our on-board credit. The food was bland and no variety. This ship old and the app stop working. The activities on the ship were non existent. Only saving grace was Ice Bucket the ship’s rock band. Lastly, it was very disappointing to book a cruise where a destination is advertised later to find out that port is canceled without announcing a reason why.

The ship althought refurbished in 2021 still had the look and feel of an old vessel.The food in the free restuants was something to be desired, average at best. The food at all of the free restaurants were subpar, clearly you could see and taste it, surly cut back on the quality of the food.The specially resturants that we ate at were good however. This is not a fun ship RE: Rock climbing, Ect. Two ports of call were cancelled one just before our trip. Some of the excursions were not organize well, several staff members were very rude , obnoxious, and lied . We could see the downfall of NCL as well as season NCL pass passengers. I could good on and on, but this will be my last cruise on NCL for a while, perhaps forever !

We had a wonderful time. Even if the captain had to cancel the Dingle port due to rough seas.

Food terrible on the ship...room noisy at night...service mediocre

We were expecting a better experience with NCL, but their sales pitch almost ruined the cruise. They urgently need to improve the on board activities. The staff was very helpful and courteous.

Overall the cruise was good. The scenery cruising through the Chillean fjords was amazing. Rounding the horn was a once in a lifetime adventure. The bar staff and most dining rooms servers were well trained and very friendly. Only real complaint is the over crowded Buffett lines, saving of deck chairs and the rudeness of fellow traveler. Would I cruise with Norwegian again... Yes but find a ship that's not sold out , that has a better space ratio.

Underwhelming cruise experience with outstanding long distance photo ops

Bruh, don’t ever take this cruises they changed the name of the cruise from “Antarctica” to “South America” one day into the cruise because they cancelled the Antarctica days. Google “ncl Antarctica” and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Complete bait and switch, we should file a class action against Ncl for this

We were disappointed for cancellation of the main part of the trip to cruise Paradise Island in Antarctica but understand weather conditions and the safety of the ship and all aboard. Staff was fabulous and very accommodating to assist handicap.
