terrymtex01 Posted August 5, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have a review posted from last May.. but if you guys have been checking the reviews, you will probably have already seen it. I promise you.. you will enjoy the Star. I think she has a great staff and crew. If you meet Simone the Concierge, please tell her hello from Doug and Terry (suite 9232 both times). We miss her. She is a DOLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool girl1 Posted August 5, 2008 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We are crusing this Saturday and I am desperate for recent reviews. We cruised the Star April 2006. We were on deck 10. If you happen to see the stewarts Ven and Jen they were awesome. Hopefully you will get them. It is a beautiful ship and the food was great.

Did you find the review just by googleing Norwegian Star Review????? Thanks, and look my countdown is getting closer!!!!:D I went to the Star Roll Call and looked for ones in July who had returned. Hers was the only one I could find for July. Have you looked through the Cruise Critic reviews? Read the review on that page and also click on the 405 member reviews -- http://www.cruisecritic.com/reviews/review.cfm?ShipID=198 There's also some great info on the Star here: http://www.shipcafe.net/shipcafe/st/nclst04.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovezags Posted August 5, 2008 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Just got off the Star on Saturday, and don't have time right now to write a review. I will say we were very happy, the over all food was good in the main dining rooms. I was not that impressed with the market buffet...there were lots of choices but food was always luke warm-but hey I still ate it! Sevice was great. The shows were really good. Bingo was expensive and heavily pushed. Ports were fun but be prepared for lots of jewlery stores, I was there about 15 years ago and jewlery was not the main tourist attraction that has changed now. Weather was cold and rainy and I would have loved to have had a couple more pair of jeans. I will try to write more later but I think you will have a great time!!!

Rare Birdnutty Posted August 5, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2008 What time were you able to get off? Did you go for express debarkation? What time did they start letting people debark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovezags Posted August 5, 2008 #13 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We did do the so called express check out...said we could leave at 8:15 it took at least 45 minutes to get off the ship because the line was so long. It wrapped around the whole deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarilynTX Posted August 5, 2008 Author #14 Share Posted August 5, 2008 How would you rate the comfort of the beds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovezags Posted August 6, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well, after all the talk about upgrades I was really surprised because both my back and my husband's hurt. I felt like I was sleeping in a hole. I thought about asking for the egg crate pad but did not. I was wondering if our bed had really been upgraded. I did see them taking beds off the ship when we were departing so maybe it hasn't been completed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvgolfchic Posted August 6, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We were on the Star the week of June 28th. I'm not sure if the beds had been changed yet or not, but we both thought they were great. Not too hard or too soft. We did the timed departure at 9:00 or somewhere around there. Short lines and quick debarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymtex01 Posted August 6, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2008 How would you rate the comfort of the beds? Marilyn.. I have a feeling, based on what people have already said that this is going to be very subjective, however I have to tell you that our experience on the Star ..well.. the beds are the most comfortable we have ever slept on, outside of our own home. We were amazed at how comfortable they are to be so thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
