Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Good cruise, decent ship, rude travelers. This is my second cruise on the NCL Star and I enjoy the boat. However, this time, many of the travelers were very rude. There should be a short presentation explaining conduct expectations so that everyone is on the same page.

Great cruise for the pananama Canal. Wouldn't take the Norwegian Star again, and am hesitant to sail Norwegian again.

I would not recommend Norwegian Cruise Line. I would also not recommend using "United Mileage Plus". We used mostly all of our United Mileage Plus miles for this trip. We had been waiting for years to have enough miles to take the cruise. We feel that we were cheated. In talking with many other passengers, we found out that we "paid" much more than most, and did not receive any perks... as most other passengers did. We very much regret using United Mileage Plus and taking the Norwegian cruise.

I understand things can go wrong, it's basically a floating hotel. But there's no excuse for not having air in our cabin for 6 days, and their answer to that was a bottle of cheap wine and a plate with cheese and grapes. Which my husband told them we don't drink wine. Also we had the drink package, so instead they gave us a $60 credit only after we complained all 6 days

I sailed the star for very cheap and I didn't pay the gratuities to Norwegian. Obviously the crew gets a salary and never sees these gratuities anyway. I personally tipped employees who made my experience wonderful!! Had I not booked this ship for cheap, I would have been severely disappointed. I will never sail on the Norwegian Star again. I hope the star isn't a reflection of other Norwegian cruise ships.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first Transatlantic crossing...now we can 'legally' get anchor tatoos! The 15 night cruise was not too long. We enjoyed our 'at sea' days perhaps more than our 'in port' days. We look forward to our next cruise on Norwegian! Samantha Strassberg did a fine job tailoring our travel and cruise arrangements to match our friend's arrangements, with whom we were travelling.

I must say that this was our 4th Norwegian and probably our last. The price was great and the perks were really good, but it seems like it is almost self- serve when you go on Norwegian compared to Holland America, Princess, or Celebrity. We are going on a Carnival cruise in December and will be able to judge them, (we have been on 5 Carnival cruises, but not in the last 10 years). I must say that the food has always been better on the other cruise lines than Norwegian.

Even though I may have been unkind in some of my summaries , we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Time flew on by unbelievably fast. The biggest disappoint was the disembarkation process. It was totally disorganized and not very well thought out. Be assured it was not the fault of immigration or customs authorities, that went very well. I think it was more of a case of the ships personnel not knowing their jobs.

The internet is horrible, you waste at least half your time waiting for stuff to refresh and NCL could not care less- in fact it's to their benefit as you end up having to purchase more time. And the Optional restaurants are just ok, we never had a great meal and these Optional restaurants are in addition to the meal plan we purchased. I would never cruise NCL again-- it was a 2.5 star experience at best. many people on board said the same thing and they are cruise savvy-- they say try RC. And their Medical facilities/personel are not US certified Doctors. Probably common on cruises, but our treatment for my wife was less then adequate

Cruise ship is very comfortable and the weather was exceptional. Our suite was good and the cafes and restaurants were good. The ports along the Adriatic coast are interesting and well worth a visit. As always, due to departure times, it is not possible to spend as much time as desired in most of the ports. We have sailed on other cruises which offered more appealing theatrical entertainment and classes on topics such as Microsoft photo software.

Will never use Norwegian again. I am so disappointed in them that I️ will now go out of my way to tell everyone how bad they were to us. The ports of call need to be longer and the staff needs a lesson in manners.

The cruise was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves beautiful sites and history. Take advantage of the hospitality of the folks who live in these places. The people were friendly for the most part and most of them spoke English.

Getting into Venice 4 days ahead of time allowed us to get over jet lag and see the city. The cruise was more enjoyable than expected since the citizens of the ports were very friendly (except for one guy, but that made for a good story). Each port was unique and we were glad to see the environment of the Montenegro and Croatia countries and why people love living there. As for Greece, these islands were all new to us and we can truly say we saw a different side of Greece than the mainland. The time in each port was shorter than our past NCL cruises to the eastern/western Med and Alaska, which is why we took a lot of highlights tours. All in all, a very special part of the world to visit!

Norwegian Star suite and super ports in Greek Isles areas. Spend a couple of days in Venice before or after cruise. Avoid cabins above Spinnaker Lounge on Deck 8 - very noisy at night.

The itinerary was great, the food and service were terrible. The ship is tired looking and could use a deep cleaning. I would not cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines again.

I had a really good impression, and now am just wishing to come and travel again. Next time I will try to go for a cruise with Norwegian to the Hawaiian Islands.

Good cruise ports. Was not crazy about the overall experience on the ship. I think you can find a much better experience for the cost of this cruise.

Overall I had a wonderful first trip to Europe, first week-long cruise, and first time sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line. They really impressed me with the food and service especially, and I can't wait to sail with them again.

Really said above - very disappointing as the passengers were as a rule rude and refused to followed posted rules and thecrew refused to enforce them.

My wife and I took this cruise for our honeymoon, and we had an overall good experience. I had been to Europe previously but my wife had never been. The specialty food on board the ship was great, but the complimentary food left something to be desired. I wish we had more time to explore at each port (expect 30 minutes taken for both arrival and departure out of the overall time listed for each port). The excursions are great for inexperienced travelers, but if you're more experienced I would highly recommend exploring the destinations on your own.
