Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We loved it

The machines in the exercise room need to face the ocean/outside.

run down ship. needs updating

Great ship crew was perfect

The ship is amazing lots of things to do, places to lay out wether it be by the pool lots of action or in the front or back where it is quiet and peacful.

Ship was nicely appointed and very clean. Once you learned your way around it was easy to navigate. We loved the Freestyle cruising. It was great to eat when and where you wanted to and with the people you wanted to sit with. Loved the freedom. It was great not to have to get dressed up to go to dinner. We worked our eating schedule around the activities we wanted to participate in. We had fun playing games, attending game show, etc. The pool area was always crowded. The shows were cheesy. Magic show was predictable. We sat up in the balcony and could see the trick from above. Singing shows were ugh.... great for old people that can't hear. Food was OK. Thank goodness for all of the choices. At least everyone could find something they liked. I expected better quality in the upcharge restaurants. The Italian place was the best one of the cruise.

We had delays on our flight to New Orleans that went from a short rain delay to terrible planning and rescheduling by United and therefor arrive in New Orleans 5 1/2 ours late. My husband was on the phone every chance he could talking with United Cruise and Norwegian, unfortunately they could do nothing to help us get on a plane that may have got us to the ship before it sailed. Upon arrival in New Orleans a cruise representative met us in baggage claim and told us along with others that we could get on the ship in Belize. The next morning we did research, found a hotel in Belize, found transfer from the airport and to the ship. We called Norwegian to find out exactly what we would need to do in order to get on the ship in Belize. We were told we could not board in belize because the ship just dropped anchor and did not dock. There would be not custom check in, we could not take our luggage on the small boats to get on the ship, and the weather might be bad. So we thought our cruise hope was lost. Later a rep. from Norwegian called us and asked if we planned to get on in Belize. We told her what we had been told. She called a port person with Norwegian and he said yes we could get on as long as the ship stopped there but weather could play a part. we got excited again until we contacted the travel agent that Norwegian said we should use. She said she called Norwegian and they told her we could not board in Belize. Slam goes the door in our face again. Later a rep. from United cruises calls us and ask if we want to board in Belize. We explain our whole story and she calls Norwegian, they say you can as long as the weather is good. So what is up? We have been told yes 3 times and no twice. Which is it. Do we spend the extra $650 and take a chance on getting stuck in Belize. Norwegian needs to develop a standardized plan that they can tell their customers when they miss the ship. We were told that there were 14 people that did not get on the

I loved that we could explore the entire island over 3 days. So much fun and a Beautiful island.

I have been on every cruise line once and norweigean was the last. Next to the expensive elite lines, norweigean was up with the best overall. Not too much of any one thing and just enough of everything to keep everyone entertained. Didnt take my kids but cant wait to on my next cruise which will be norweigean.

ship lacked a chapel, but, otherwise, was a great vessel

We sailed out of NYC to Bermuda on 9/16/12 for 7 nights. Everything was great. They are a little expensibce & spend a lot of time trying to make more money. That is my only issue. I loved the cruise & the port totally & we are booked to sail again with NCL on the Breakaway on 10/12/14. I cannot wait!

.this is our second cruise. it so much more than what we expected. so looking forward to booking on this ship again!

We paid $2400 in advance plus $199 to CSA Travel Protection for insurance a year before the trip. A month before the cruise my husband had back surgery and spent three weeks in the hospital, didn't recover well. We had to cancel the trip. This is what we recovered from the $2600 we had paid: $366.34 (taxes only) from NCL and $374.95 from the insurance company. That means they made close to $2000 on a couple that couldn't make the trip and that took out insurance. What a dishonest group these two companies are!

I really liked Norwegian Star cruise. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. Spending most of our time at the pool and by the bar, it was very relaxing. The Free-style cruising was awesome. No set schedule, just do what you want when you want.

very few meal selection, towels were changed but poorly washed , many times towels were replaced with stains on them, including pool towels, linen was not changed at all not even once for entire cruise, cafeteria area was too small, people did not have place to sit, shows with exception of the last one(last night show on a cruise) were low average. 4days at the sea make many people sick including myself. junk that was sold in a shop was overpriced, and by the way where in the world silver jewelry cost as much as on a ship? I felt that weather condition was used to suck the money out of people pockets keeping them on a ship for 4 days. You think you can over smart people, guess what this was my 6th cruise but the last on NCL.

ship was great

Sailed Star from NYC to Bermuda. Stayed in a SJ suite and enjoyed the butler. Ship was smaller than the norm today but very nice and easy to get around. Staff was very friendly. This was my intro to Norwegian and liked the product and will sail with them again.

The ship was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Dirty ship, Diry staterooms. Tiny cabins. Horrible cafeteria Food, processed garbage food. Entertainment so/so. Small ship. Nickel and dime you kind of experience.

I went on this cruise for a family members wedding, so we were a group of about 26 ranging from 2 years old to 80. I have cruisedin the past but more recently usually go on all inclusive vacations. The amount of money for this cruise was not worth what you were given. You can go to an all inclusive for the same amount or cheaper and not have to pay for anything when you get there, not even tips! The balcony mini suite was extremely small with only 2 drawers and a small closet. We had 3 people in the room, 2 adults And a child and had to take everything out of our suitcases and find places for it do we could stuff the suitcases under the bed or else we wouldnt b able to move. There was only 1 120v outlet in the room and 1 in the bathroom. We thought an iron would be available for use in the room but you had to call to get one, wait on hold for them to answer then wait another 45 min for them to bring it to you! They ran out of food items at the buffet such as Italian dressing but had 3 of the same types of dressing. They also had a lot of starchy foods on the buffet line. The watersides close at the pool very often and the pool closes to of the water is rough. The basketball court was usually being used during the day by a kids camp so you couldnt play. Most of the competitions pool side were for adults not children. Lastly you will be charged a $12 per day service charge per person on your bill. Make sure to go to the desk on the last night and ask to remove this. This is in addition to gratuity being added to your check Everytime you order a drink!
