Hi I recently booked a cruise on the Star sept 2021...I have cabin 8116 a sideways room..I was hoping someone could share what they thought about the room and the view if anyone has stayed there..thanks

Star deck 8 obstructed views..has anyone been in 8116.  It's a sideways cabin, i don't know if it's better or worse than the regular ones..also wanted to know about the view

I would recommend anyone but  Patouche  and Captain Joe...we paid 1100 for  8 of us and did not get what we paid for.  He farmed us out to another charter.  When we returned home he sent an email asking how our trip went and he proceeded to call us liars and even though we did not ask nor did we expect anything in return we simply told him we were disappointed and he was a jerk ...they said we would have alcohol on the charter and there was only 3 beers for 8 of us.  This was the biggest part of our complaint but there were others.  So I'd take a hard pass. 

We have a group of 7 from Louisville, KY

Are you planning on attending the Meet and Greet?

Just got off the phone with NCL and they told us that there is no advantage to being a gold latitudes member which showed because of the 4 rooms we booked we are the only latitudes members and we got the worst of the rooms being in the very front away from all the others. We were also the first to book.

One of the reasons I liked to book with NCL is because I was moving up the chain of the latitudes heirarchy but now I will have to rethink this and check which cruise lines offer the best consideration as you go up levels. I've heard Princess is good with this.

I did not ask for an upgrade or any special consideration, just that our room is closer to the others in our party.

Also had NCL disconnect during our conversation (third time this has happened) and did not call back.

It does seem like there is not much of an advantage to booking early...when the prices go down and there are better rooms left at a much cheaper rate

I'll try that...thanks

thanks for the feedback..I think they misrepresented that even though it was a guarantee we would still be put together..We haven't sailed yet but we wanted to be closer together because we are all from different parts of the country and we don't get to see each other often...

Wondering if we could get some feedback and suggestions on where to go from here.

We had traveled the Pearl before and loved it so we finally found a good itinerary we were interested in and booked through *************. After we booked we told others about it and got three other couples to join us. Since we all booked a couple of days apart, we all made sure that our travel agent knew we all wanted to be together, but this didn't happen when they assigned the rooms. ************* said they couldn't do anything unless we wanted to pay more. (Which doesn't make sense because the rates have actually gone down since we paid in full) VTG said that NCL will assign the rooms and told us since we travel NCL frequently they would take care of us. Well that didn't happen.

I will be a gold member after this trip and thought they would pay some consideration to this. I really do enjoy NCL even though I have traveled on RCL and Celebrity too

I'm really upset due to the fact that I planned this trip for all of us, we got stuck in the very front of the ship by ourselves and not next to any of the others.

Can anybody offer some advise as to rectify this. We already booked a trip with Celebrity for next nov 2015 because of the disillusionment with this.
