Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was our "honeymoon cruise" celebrating our 20th anniversary. We liked how there were many different types of shows and entertainment. The first two ports, especially, had excursions with different types of things to do and various costs to meet each budget. The food was excellent and the dining gave you options of various food types and environments to eat.

From the welcome aboard in Seattle to final deboarding when we returned, everything went very smoothly and was most enjoyable.

Nothing broken or dirty in the room, every area of the ship looked in top shape food ranged from good to excellent, staff were extremely friendly. Highly recommend this trip.

Ship clean and well kept

Our overall experience was very positive. We had a mini-suite for three people and it was quite spacious. The help was friendly, helpful, and really added to the enjoyment of the cruise.

The stop in Prince Rupert was a waste of time, it would have been nice to spend more time in other ports.

Overall the ship was clean.

Great experience for families. There were a large number of families on our cruise and the dine when you want experience would work well for families. The accommodations seem geared for families and there seemed to be a lot to do for the kids on the ship. If you want elegance, fine dining, etc, then another cruise line will suit you better. If you don't care about fancy food, but want a cruise experience, NCL is a great way to go. They don't do anything wrong, it just isn't as upscale. We had a great time and would recommend this to others.

We had dinner at every different restaurant every night and pay additional money. the service are all great but thefood in Tepanyaki is average, the desert is terrible. The japanese food does not have enough choices. The steak, The French and Italian are provide good food. The TV needs to be replaced. they are Old.

We were very impressed of the different restaurants to select from. We had no problems getting any reservations or waiting long for a table. All the staff were very courteous, kind and helpful. The ship was so big it never felt we were traveling with almost a couple thousands of passengers. We were so pleased with all the activities available.

Very comfortable ship. Clean. Terrific crew.. the food service was amazing

Ship had construction in numerous staterooms throughout ship, creating noise starting at 8am each day. No theater. Indoor viewing area almost non-existing outside of the bufffet area (if your stateroom doesn't have a balcony or some other outdoor area, you'll be hard-pressed to locate a seat where you can gaze upon the beauty of the Inside Passage/Alaska or elsewhere for that matter) that is somewhat protected from the weather/wind. The NCL Star is not a good ship to take Alaska cruises on.

This was our first cruise so we weren't exactly sure what to expect. For the most part, the service staff was excellent. The food at the buffet was edible. We ate a few of the upcharge restaurants and it was definitely worth it. The food was a very good quality. We were disappointed to see the construction occuring in the rooms around us. We had to deal with walking through puddles and a leaky pipe in the hallway on one day. We only hope it was clean water that landed on our heads. The construction workers usually were blocking the way to the elevators with their various equipment. When we finally complained about the construction and dripping pipes, we were moved to a cheaper room and not given compensation for taking the cheaper room. They didn't even apologize for the experience.

Great cruise. Food was outstanding. Crew was exellent. Would take cruise again and would highly recomend to anyone.

The ship was beautiful and the ports of call were nice. I enjoyed the inside passage views. The ship personnel were all about money. Beds were not comfortable. Had to put money upfront on room for charges with set amount for tips, would not let you buy ANYTHING until you settled these charges for tips upfront. No free soft drinks, had to purchase them. Day of disembarkment. stopped on the way outside of ship for $8 charge, never given reason for charge. Should have given a bill night before to settle then, not on day leaving.

The snorkling excursion in Alaska was awesome. Room service was alway delicious. They had many different shows that were amazing, from magic to acrobats. We also enjoyed the Art auction.

Bathrooms, specifically toilet seats all over ship inc. staterooms need upgrading. Toilets seats deeply scarred and stained.

The dining and activities were well organized. All staff were pleasant and courteous. Venues were clean and well maintained. We did not encounter lines for any activity. The decor of the ship was very pleasing and not overpowering.

I had traveled with NCL before on the same ship and doing the same itinerary (actually the previous was 10 days this one was 6 days) and I was surprised to see HOW MUCH the qulity had declined. The cabin service was horrendous, we never had the towels we requested, the sheets were dirty...so bad in fact that 3 people in my party refused to tip the cabin crew. Moreover the inner pool that was free is now ~$80 to use. In addition the entertainment program was almost non-existent, especially for a trip that spends such a long time at sea. Overall compared to other cruise experiences and especially compared to last time (2006) EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. I would not recommend that ship to anyone.

staterooom was terible had to beg clean towls the food was awful could not go tohot top or other things for all the kides children running up down the hallways had children above us the ran and jump half the nite I have cruised every cruise line except ncl and I will never do it again or recommond it to anyone
