First time cruisers so nothing to compare it too. I believe this ship would be classed a mid size. It was small enough to seem friendly but big enough not to feel confined or as though you saw the same people all of the time.
Cabin was big enough and balcony an absolute must. Toiletries are replaced as needed and there are bathrobes (albeit a little hard). Staff very attentive and friendly, not after tips as gratuities are prepaid.
The 2 main restaurants were elegant. If you wanted a table...

The cruise destinations and trips made this holiday for us, but my time on board ship was spoiled by 2 things:- The much reduced choice of food in the restaurants and the casual dress code accepted at all times.
Food:- The choices of food on the menu in the main 2 restaurants are very limited,and the same every night with a few additions. As my wife has a dietary problem this made her choice even more restictive.
Dress Code:- Despite the brochure stating that 1 main restaurant was...

From the daily "service charge" per person (just for being on the ship!) to the additional 15% auto gratuity (I wonder how much of that the staff actually sees), to the CONSTANT (and I'm not exaggerating) sales pitch from waiters to buy more drinks, it was a rather tiring experience.

Overall, as a first time cruise on the Norwegian Star NCL cruise, we had the best vacation. the weather for the week that we were in Alaska was great, and the temperatures were normal with lots of sunshine. (read more)

My final comment is I do understand what can happen on a ship at sea i was on a Navy Destroyer. I believe the on board credit should have been more, why should your customers be put out, because without them were would you be. The tour we took in Manzillo should be credited that was a joke, riding in a bus trying to see something in the dark........But we gave you the benefit, we signed up for another cruise, because the first one was so good and the second was probably beyond your means and...

I'm leaving July 30th out of Seattle on the Star. Any tips about places to eat on board, swimming, etc. I will have a 10 year old with me. Any tips on the onshore excursions?
