Norwegian Star Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Ship was beautiful and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We did not care for the Market Place cafe, enviroment was not pleasant, food was so-so. Also did not care for set up of Blue Lagoon, diffulcult to walk thru with food servers crossing walkway.

On and off was spectacular. Cabin, butler and itinerary too. The rest was from bad to fair. It's all about selling you stuff and pushing you to mark "excellent" on their own reviews.

This was our second cruise with Norwegian and our first on the Star. We enjoyed both cruises a great deal and are most fond of the Free Style dining. It meant we didn't have a set time or place to eat. There were six hot tubs on the Star, though few hearty souls to use them (we did). One day we were in forty-five degree rain sitting in the hot tub, passing the snow covered hills. OK - so maybe we're not the brightest of cruisers. Even if you have no interest in seeing any of the ports, you MUST see and hear the glaciers. The glaciers have a blue cast and some of the huge chunks of ice floating by will have blue stripes. The thunderous sound of the glaciers cracking in spring and the cascade of ice down the glacier, followed by the crash into the water cannot be described adequately. You've got to be there.

The ship was beautiful.

Very impressive. Having never been on a cruise, it was almost overwhelming to see the wonderful facility and all it had to offer.

I was really impressed by the way the staff was always there, cleaning, polishing and making sure that all was in order, the ship was beautiful!

The ship was very nice and big. My friend and I wanted to relax on the ship and we did just that. I wouldn't recommend this cruise for younger singles as many of the on board activities are more geared for older adults and couples. We were surprised to see we had a television in our room, however, the majority of the channels had to do with ship activities and then the same movies were played over and over on rotation practically. I was grateful for the one cable channel we did have as it offered some variety but I wish there was more available for those days that you just want to rest and stay in your room.

The ship was great - well set up - Everything was clean - rooms were cleaned promptly and towels were available several times a day if needed. The decks, spas and all public areas of the ship were kept clean at all times. I loved the spa and gym - spa had a lap pool and a great relaxation room. I also liked the fact that you could remain in your room while waiting to disembark

From the check inn (lattitude member) to the express debarkation option, we found this cruise to be exceptional. We enjoyed the free style dinning the best. Of course the entertainment lived up to the quality we have become to expect on NCL. The staff were all accomodating and acted like they were glad we were there. When you realize each weekly cruise (every 8 days) these people are quality picked and trained. Thanks NCL for a great cruise.

We sailed on the Norwegian Star, and this was our first trip with NCL and "free-style" cruising. We have been on quite a few cruises before, all in the traditional style. Having many choices for dining was a real plus -La Trattoria, Le Bistro and Cagney's were all outstanding - but i must say that the main dining room and Market Place buffet are very average and service is not always great. The pool was also another area that was disappointing. It was very small for such a large ship. The entertainment onboard was not as good as past cruises, also. But there were many bright spots! The balcony rooms were very spacious and the baths were much more roomy than on any other cruise line that we have traveled with. The work-out facilities were excellent with free wieghts and many machines and even a lap pool and 2 spas. Knowing what to expect from the dining choices I think we would do it again!

Overall we really enjoyed our recent cruise. There were a couple things about this ship that were not as enjoyable as on previous cruises. We were told Spring break would be over when we booked the cruise. It wasn't. Also, there is only 1 small outdoor pool and it has 2 water slides connected to it. So, pool was always crowded. The staff on the ship were very good and always wanting to help. The ports we visited were excellent. I wish the port calls were longer.

A big and spacious ship with a friendly courteous staff.

The Norwegian Star was kept up imaculate, the staff was extremely friendly and at no time did you feel crowded on the ship. The entertainment was top notch. The only complaint was that there was not enough time to attend all the different entertainment going on on the ship.

FOR A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM HUSBAND THIS WAS NICE, BUT WE DON'T THINK WE WILL BE CRUISING WITH THEM AGAIN.

Although it there were lots of kids on this cruise (as it was spring break) there were so many activities for them we rarely heard any complaints from them like: are we there yet, or, I'm bored. Other than this the cruise was exceptional. The staff always smiled and were pleased to be of service. The entertainment was just that....entertaining! There was a special guest star from the Bold and the Beautiful who performed his comedy act and let us experience his wounderful voice. The cruise director Simon always kept us informed of events and had a great sense of humor. Loved the trip

We came on this cruise with high expectations. We were looking forward to a high end experience, but were disappointed right away. Embarkation was a mess from the beginning. We only had a couple of downloaded pieces of paper as "tickets" with some very vague directions. There were long lines with no one knowing what we should do. We were to cruise on the Norwegian Star for 8 days to Acapulco,Mexico. We had no luggage tags and had to get in 1 line for tags and then another long line to actually get on the ship.Our luggage was delivered quickly, but we noticed right away the crew wasn't very friendly or helpful and warm compared to our last year's Royal Caribbean cruise. It was just ok over all - the entertainment, food, service, and was very crowded

As stated above. Have been on this ship before and like it very much.

Having been on many cruises, this was our first on Norwegian. It was the cleanest ship we had ever been on. Cleanliness began from embarkation til the last day. Everything , from the room to the dining areas were spotless. The service was first rate and the food was what we have come to expect on quality cruise ships. The room was exceptional, being able to look out over the ocean while in the jacuzzi was unbelievable.Overall we definitely will do a Norwegian Cruise again.

My husband failed to recognize the most important reason for our fantastic vacation aboard Norwegian Cruise line. We booked our cruise through and were we well taken care of. First we received an exceptional price on our room, which was hundreds of dollars lower than any other web sites. On top of that we were upgraded from a suite guarantee to a Penthouse suite. Need i say more. We were pampered with exceptional service from the moment we contacted and our vacation was one we'll always cherish

Fabulous experience but very tiring being in a different port every single day, especially as we did B2B cruises ( a total of 21 nights with only 1 sea day at the very beginning). Ship was clean and tidy, most of the staff were friendly and helpful and most of the food was good. Entertainment could use some work, and not be so loud that you can't carry on a conversation in public open areas, like the atrium ( it was even so loud that the staff at guest services had to keep repeating themselves to be heard).
