Reviewer read
One of the lowest-rated ships we track. It falls behind on disembarkation.
Norwegian Star rates higher overall than 12% of the ships we track. The weak spot is disembarkation.
Why reviewers choose it
No category on this ship rates clearly above the fleet.
The one caution
7.9out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 5% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Everything else, in one line
Eleven fall below the fleet: entertainment, service, fitness, public areas, value, dining, cabins, embarkation, activities, ship quality and disembarkation. They rate higher than 5% to 20% of ships.
Family falls below the fleet too, but only 96 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Cabin grade does matter here. Suite rates 7.7 and oceanview rates 7.2, across 1,947 cabin ratings.
