Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had a great time with our friends and our son. It was a nice ship and the staff was very friendly. Our cabin was a balcony and was well equipped. We had been out touring Italy for 3 weeks before the cruise and so it was nice to unpack for a full week and let the ship deal with the details. Already looking at a cruise for next year.

We traveled as a couple with another couple who are good friends of ours. We had an amazing time, we just wished there were longer port times to get things in--especially in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Again, the ship is beautiful, but we kept saying to ourselves that it would have been more relaxing if it had been an adults only ship, or that the ship was larger and had more spaces that allowed for kids and families to enjoy along with those of us adults who wanted some space to ourselves. We have kids of our own, but will usually take them on cruises that are larger so there is more for them to do. Other than that, the ship is beautiful and we still had a lovely time.

The trip was great experience, the cruise ship was somewhat aged vessel in need of upgrades. The service and staff were great, the entertainment was super; our kids and us adults very much enjoyed it. The places visited were awesome but would have preferred a longer layover in Dubrovnic.

All in all it was a good experience. The biggest let down was the concierge for our suite who was utterly useless. We stayed in the haven last year on epic so set a high bar coming onto this ship and it was decent.

Very unremarkable cruise. Would not sail with Norwegian again. Staff did not go out of their way to make this a stress-free vacation. Bartenders argued. Guest services refused to assist. Could never find anyone at the excursion desk. Wine selection was disgusting.

This cruise was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the summer and visit some beautiful small cities along the Adriatic without having to pack and unpack each day. Evening entertainment was excellent and overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Great cruise. Ports of call were great. Loved the suite. Great staff on the ship. Specialty dinners are the best. Best part of the cruise was the butler. Easy on and off the ship experience.

Yes will recomend service was great and staff even better from waiters to room stwardest all great! Shows were fantastic and ports of call even better my third Norwegian cruise and love it

The favorite part of the cruise was the shows and I think his name was Vincent he would always say "see you when I see you".

My girlfriends and did a tour everyday except for Friday because we were out to sea.  Really enjoyed learning about the different cultures.

This was my first cruise ever and I was so happy that I had my very own cabin.

We enjoyed all aspects of the cruise. The ship was somewhat dated but clean and the service in all areas was exceptional. The food was decent but not outstanding and the coffee available in the free dining areas was not very good. One night in the main dining room the coffee was undrinkable. Over all, we were pleased with the destinations and ship and we particularly enjoyed the special membership to the spa that was limited to only 60 people. It was quiet and relaxing and free of the hub bub found in the general pool and hot tub areas. We have signed up for 2 additional cruises in 2018.

Loved the itinerary. When we boarded we found the process a bit confusing - not very much help with signage to help us find our way. We understand the crew has a great deal to deal with on the first day but they appeared tired well into our trip.  We also noticed less staff was present.  We found our cabin steward was very helpful and attentive in many ways - kudos to him!  NCL entertainment is alway fabulous- we enjoyed all the performances we attended.

The Five O'clock Anywhere Bar was cold and sterile and atmosphere was cold including the seats -not conducive to staying for a second cocktail. Comment on the entertainment...terrible. More bars should have blenders.  That seemed an issue when ordering blended drinks.

Excursion tour guides were all very informative and pleasant except for the lady who did the Athens tour.  She seemed a bit disinterested and abrupt.

We cruised on the Norwegian Star to the Adriatic Sea on June 4-10. It was a birthday celebration for hubby, and he was pleased. I was glad that we did not have to tender into any ports. Everyone from the captain to the "Washy, Washy, Washy, Happy,  Happy,  Happy" did try their best to please and serve, which really made us feel welcomed. The ports were all interesting, which was why we picked this cruise. The food was fine for the most part, especially at Cagney's. The shows were good - especially impressed by Wu Lan, the beautiful contortionist. Vincent, the Jude Law look-a-like cruise director really revved up the spirit and instilled a feeling of family for the entire cruise. The Soul Brothers were rocking - fun running into them at the ports. We made some nice friends, which made our time on and off board very pleasant. Booked for next year already!

My family had a wonderful experience. Just the right amount of activities and outings. Food never ending and overall very good. Cabin remarkably roomy and well laid out. Cruise Director and Captain very personable. Kids club outstanding. Only negative was terrible coffee on board - wish they had an upgrade.

For our first ever cruise we picked a winner. Each of the ports was worth exploring and the ship itself was outstanding in every respect: meals, shows, facilities and staff. The AA add-ons made it outstanding. I had to book a suite to get the date I wanted, and it was the smartest thing I could have done. The VIP treatment associated with a suite was well worth the money.

Great ports of call. Smooth operations with no issues. Good communication during the journey. Great food and options for sit-down/table-service meals. Well maintained ship including clean staterooms. Entertainment quality was much better than most I have seen on ships. Plenty of on-board activities to keep everyone busy.

Overall, the Norwegian Star was very clean and the hospitality staff was great.   The cruise director Vincent was a riot.   The specialty restaurant staff was very slow and the food was only average.  

La única recomendación que ago, es que en la cena se demora mucho y no podemos ver los Show empieza a las 9:30 pm y terminamos todos los días 10 ó 10:30 pm

Over all the cruise was great, we had a wonderful time. It's a shame they charge so much for drinks and excursions. The food was good, entertainment was great. The cruise director does a great job at keeping the positive going. A lot of fun.

We love all the ports of call. Especially the Croatian ports since that is my heritage.  We were not impressed by the food service on the Norwegian Star.  Would only recommend ship if friend was looking for these ports and there was no other ship in area to go on. But we knew this when we booked and had a great time anyway. We found one of the best servers in the Aqua dining room and then requested her for the remaining days on the ship. 

Santorini.  Mykonos.  Entertainment. Food was very good.  Family mini suite with balcony was very spacious and comfortable. Service was superb      Drink package was really a nice perk.
