We particularly dislike the fact that there is no bar and seating aft of the buffet.  Instead the Star has the spa and fitness center.

Being able to eat your breakfast or lunch outside watching the wake of the ship.  The ship is old and worn out, has many failures.  Time to do away with it.

So sorry we won`t be seeing you

Time to retire the Star, even when it functioned OK, it had one of the worst layouts of any cruise ship we have been on.

Sorry but i disagree we love the star x the size of the ship and especially the layout . She is a bit like "marmite" though , you love her or hate her , but it would be a very boring world if we all liked the same things . 

we got off the Star on the first of Feb after one of the best cruises we have ever been on . Glad to report she is running fine x

we just got off the Star on Saturday after one of our best cruise ever x weather was great and we had no problems with missed ports or late arrival in port . She`s running lovely at the moment .

Hope this helps everyone xx

There are a lot of us in this situation right now.  In my case Celebrity.  But no info from the cruise line yet.  I am not really inclined to cancel at all.  Hopefully if the situation is not safe for passengers the cruise lines will make changes to itineraries.  So far there have been reports of HAL passengers going to Santiago and then on to the port just recently with no issues.

I totally agree we will have to wait and see . I hope everything calms down as we are really looking forward to this cruise . Fingers crossed x

Well done NCL you have thought of another new way to annoy your long time guests who have spent a lot of money with your company .

Can anyone tell me how much the fee is ? thank you

Well i think we have got to the end of our rope . Cruising was good value when we started cruising in 2013 now we get a lot less bang for our buck . We have 2 fantastic cruises booked but that will be it for us i`m afraid . 

Just pay the DSC and enjoy your cruise x

I always wear pants ( crop trousers ) with zip pockets and a small cross body purse then spread money / passport / credit card ect around pockets / purse ect . Only take the bare minimum ashore with you and enjoy your cruise x

I wouldn`t recommend using the coffee maker to make tea . Either go to the garden cafe or order room service to deliver your morning cuppa at a time that suites you .

On a previous cruise on the Epic one of the guests practised on the piano in the mdr quite often during our cruise and he was very good. Hope you get lucky and they say yes x

I always take my " travel jewellery " and leave the good stuff at home .

Looking forward to your next instalment x

So glad this thread has surfaced again , it`s one of my favourites :D

Have a good flight , i`ll be following your thread x

Bon voyage and have a lovely time , i will be following intently x

Thank you for taking the time to write your review , i really enjoyed it and the photo`s are fantastic x

Didn`t NCL used to offer $50 per cabin and $100 per suite ? I`m pretty sure because we`ve been cancelled 4 times now !!!

If you book through NCL uk you will have the premium all inclusive deal which includes the drinks package .

Your in a cruise ship theatre not a grand opera house if you need to leave go , just do it quietly and quickly . We always sit towards the back by the isle so we don`t disturb others if we leave . Bye the way yes i do go to the opera and would never move from my seat until the interval . totally different ball game .

.... good old British Pounds .

 

NO Good NEW British Pounds!!!!!! The old round ones have to be banked, they can't be spent anywhere. You have to have 12 sided ones.

Similarly NEW £5 notes as the old ones cannot be spent and the £10 was similarly removed on March 1st.
