Review summary

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Overall quite quick and smooth

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We did have to change from anytime dining to traditional as the service was poor and the food came out cold. They did this and the food then was great no complaints.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Ukele lessons were brill! otherwise you often did get bored, some bingo and quizzes but needs more.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

DJ was funny, shows quite short, the voice was good

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

would place this higher for dining staff at a 4 but for some reason they kept taking drinks from our pre paid drinks package one day they took 4 from our allowance? poor.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

often water coming down from various ceilings and buffet area needs more cleaning - old ship needs some TLC

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

was ok bathroom too small

Ship tip

check your account daily, sometimes they charge for things you don't have

It’s up to you to relax and enjoy. Think of what you would be doing if you were home. It’s still better than being at home.

I agree Woody. We love sea days as we do what we want, when we and where we want.

The review is interesting. What jumped out at me though was when you said you wouldn't cruise on the Star again because of the sea days. That has nothing to do with the Star! Sea days are a part of the itinerary that you chose. My wife and I, on the other hand, prefer cruises that have more sea days.
