Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The cabin price was great, which made up a little for the extremely expensive norway tours, which in addition to being short and costly, also seemed prone to being canceled, which was disappointing. I did enjoy all the tours I went on as well as the free time I spent at some of the ports. The ship was a nice, comfy home base to come back to everyday after chilly days out.

Second time we have been on this ship and it does not disappoint. Ricco and Jeffrey at the Gatsby bar are exceptional. Very friendly and engaging. We will definitely go on the Star again depending upon the itinerary.

Itinerary was great. Too many tender stops but that is not the cruise line's fault. MDR food was lacking in taste and speed, Specialty dining was good. Was really surprised about how great the weather was in Ireland.

Lucked out due to high pressure over Ireland. Great way to see so many Irish locals. Itinerary of this cruise was big factor in choosing. Very satisfied with lifetime memories made!

NCL just added this cruis in September and October of 2023. If you want to see Ireland this is a great option!

Nice cruise to see the homeland of our ancestors.

2nd time on an NCL cruise, might be the last time. If we had known about all the challenges and issues, we would not have taken this cruise.

Cabin position on the ship was a real issue. Front desk staff had no authority to make any changes. Took a while to get managers attention to the issue. It got resolved but took better part of two days. Too bad. Cruise was the first NCL visit to Ireland for the season and it showed in preparation. Worst was the first stop where there were no buses or taxis to accommodate 1000+ disembarking passengers, who all desire to visit Waterford. NCL will learn and I am sure will fix these problems in upcoming trips. The entertainment onboard was definitely a cut above normal NCL level. Very high class in both music and shows.

Overall, beyond disappointing! Disappointing. Disappointing

Love all the ports visited very interesting and educational great memories.

Have cruised on different cruise lines and NCL is one of our favorite lines.

We will not book a bucket list trip through NCL ever again. Not happy with food options, iten's change based on their decisions, Excursions are way to high. Breakfast is the same every single day. Buffets are pretty boring. Rice every day with potatoes fixed the same. Just bland.

Overall, this was a very good trip, and we are glad we did it. Norwegian does have issues to correct. They are rarely on time with excursions. You are given a time to be places and often are 30 minutes late in starting. Also, they make you wait in line for tender tickets and then while waiting in line you are told you don't even need them. Should not have to spend your vacation in line. Norwegian need to work on the shore excursion, guest services and tender ticket lines.

NCL is a good cruise line with excellent food, beverage, entertainment and balcony staterooms. There are insufficient areas to relax, outside of your private balcony, without constant loud music and "activities" The customer service representatives on the NCL Star need better training and everything you're told should be verified before you leave the counter or you will have to spend another 45 minutes (on aveege) in line to re-do what you were told to do previously.

Not worth it. I was cheated. Spent lots of money in an uncomfortable cabin with a bathroom not suitable for normal people. Additionally, it had no balcony. That certainly was a new one for a suite. The internet or lack of it was the worst I have ever encounterd on a cruise ship. The quality at the main dining sites Versailles and Aqua was lower than previously experienced in other Norwgian cruises. They eliminated the NY steaks and sirloins from the menu. Unless one buys the specialty dinners you will not be pleased They were serviong smaller portions and of whic

We were extremely fortunate that cruising the straits of Magellan and the Drake passage we had a very smooth ocean and with great sunny weather for all but one day when cruising by Deception and Elephant Island. Only mishap was we were not allowed to tender at Stanly (Falkland Islands), most of understand that safety is most important.

The cruise was not what we had expected especially with no stops in the Antarctic, nor getting close enough to shore to photograph anything. Should have had a high-powered, long-range lens in order to see anything. A couple of the shows were good and the rest no-so-good.

Nice cruise, lots of tendering. Shows we're great.

We liked the itinerary that’s why we booked it. But overall cruise experience fell short for us. We have hire expectations for food and overall service. When we saw the size of the doorway and entrance to the room I went right to guest services only to be told there was nothing that could be done. We should check back in a few days to see if another room became available. So we endured the cruise with the wheelchair blocking the doorway. A dangerous fire hazard. The cabin stewerd was very concerned that we could not get out fast if there was an emergency but no alternatives were given.

The itinerary was great, Patagonian mountains and glaciers were spectacular, and the stops were very interesting, but the food choice for us, vegetarians, was very poor, and the entertainment was rather mediocre.
