Norwegian star
June
Pros: Staff was excellent!
Cons: Dining room food and tenders need much improvement.
Recommended: Yes
Main dining room service was slow and food often cold. Too many tenders. Original itinerary showed only one. Paamiut was a tender disaster!

Great time but...
June
Pros: Staff was awesome. Friendly and helpful. Food was good.
Cons: Wifi. Some deserts
Recommended: Yes
Wifi did not work most of the cruise. Was finally fixed the last two days of the 10 day cruise. The deserts were good except for the cakes. They were always dry. Shout outs to Jeffrey and Rico in the Gatsby Bar; Russel at Proof Bar Best to Ivan who took care of my cabin and always had a smile.

What Happened?
June
Pros: Production Shows, Ports of Call
Cons: Too many to list
Recommended: No
I have previously sailed on NCL, and this was the first time I was disappointed. Service in the Versailles was uncomfortably slow -- for breakfast, dinner and sea-day lunched. Over an hour for breakfast; over 90 minutes for lunch, and over 2 hours for dinner. The specialty restaurants were not much better. The internet service unreliable. Long lines that seemingly never moved. What happened to the nightly turn down service? My booking information stated that we would be tendering in only one port, but we tendered in a majority of the ports. [The tendering process in Paarmiut was a disaster. Hundreds of people stood in line for 45 minutes or more waiting for an officer to bring order to chaos]. Not knowing which ports were tender ports is a management failure. Hopefully, this cruise was an aberration, and my next experience will be better.

Perfect size ship
October
Pros: Its still and a good size ship, that it does not gets crowded on seadays
Cons: When tendering to shore can get a little hectic if there are more ships at port.
Recommended: Yes
Really enjoyed our vacation on the ship. The staff is well trained, friendly, hard-working and goes all and beyond to please guests. The food is always delicious and lots to choose from. They also accommodate people with food intolerance issues. Cabins are good size and comfortable.

Panama Canal Cruise
February
Pros: Excellent cruise
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
We had a fabulous time as we cruised on the Norwegian Star. The cruise director and his staff were very upbeat and thoroughly enjoyed their jobs. Enjoyed Captain Mattias and his wealth of knowledge. Entertainment was very good, especially the Production Cast Singers and Dancers.
