Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I did a cruise on this ship 3years ago and spent 90% of my time in the spinaker lounge forward deck 12 with glass completely around the front. They took the spinaker lounge and moved it aft (no windows) and took the great view, where it once was forward and added high price suites. Really a disappointment. So I ended up spending most of the time on the balcony in my balcony room. This was nice, but the inter-action with other cruise passengers was lacking. What really go my attention was that the $18 bucket of beer had increased to $39 (includes the 15% gratuity)

Ship was clean but had a sewer odor on deck 6 & 7. Plumbing maybe not working so good.

The ship still needs work on coverings. sofas in state rooms worn badly. too pushy for photos to make money. lines for food too long. people use cafiteria for playing cards. holding up others to eat. food the same always.

The ship was great, our balcony room was small but nice and was very clean. Our steward was wonderful! The crew was friendly and helpful.

Did not like the freestyle cruises. Only 3 free restaurants and theorist were paid restaurants. The ship was the most unorganized. The casinos was hidden and all the other activities were spread all over the ship and hard to find. The airport baggage program on board was awful. I was with a group and over 20 people did not get their luggage. They were doing repairs in the water and sewer and the halls smelled like sewage.

I enjoyed the Freestyle Cruising! I would highly recommend Norwegian Cruises to anyone!

Most staff members were great, but the Thai passengers were extremely rude and overbearing. Every non-Amway passenger I spoke to was totally disgusted with their behavior. NCL and Amway should have had an exclusive cruise for these animals. NCL should NEVER expose other passengers to this type of abuse. Personally, I'll never spend another dime at NCL or Amway.

Onboarding the cruise ship at Ballantyne pier may have soured my entire experience. We arrived at the dock at 12:30 and it took over 3 hours of waiting in lines to board the NCL ship. Food was mediocre and NCL seems to really nickel and dime you on everything. Specialty restaurants were better, but you have to pay a service fee of between $10 - $35/person for each meal. Entertainment was mediocre as well. We attended a few events on board, but overall I felt like there wasn't enough entertainment and activities. NCL could be better able providing availability to more activities and services for longer hours.

The ship was pretty nice. It is a little claustrophobic in areas, but overall it was fine.

This is a very nice ship. we have cruised several time on this ship and it has such elegance.

The ship IS very nice, its showing some age, and the food was worse than at a hospital. The food is VERY low Quality.

Stateroom was great. Ship was too big for my tastes. Big disappointment was the food.

The stateroms were too small. Dining was very poor quality if you were not paying, and if you were paying it depends on how much you were paying depended on the quality of the food. Not enough staff to attend to the number of passengers. We have cruised on 3 previous cruise lines, this was the fourth and the worst of all our cruise vacations. The ship was really small. We will not be cruising on Norwehian ever again and I will be telling all of my friends to stay away.

The relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere was appreciated. We had a wonderful time. This was my last wedding gift to my granddaughter and her new husband and a gift of relaxation for my daughter. We loved Cabo...a little nervous about Puerto Vallarta. The casino had too much smoke. Need non-smoking as well as smoking.There are some maintenance issues--broken window in dining area floor 12, loose hand rail and seats need repaired in theatre. Loved some of the dishes. Missed getting to know our waiters as we do on other cruise lines--not as connected to us. Wish the tips were built into the price; don't like it as an add on. The rum and raisin ice cream--incredible. No on bingo.

Well laid-out for amazing variety of experience, scenic views and getting on or off the shop at port.

This was our first and last time on NCL. Compared to other cruise lines our experience was very poor. I would not recommend NCL.

an average cruise ship...

I have sailed on the NCL Star before. The ship is clean but showing its age.
