Mike D. Posted August 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looking for any tips or feedback about the Star (never have sailed NCL) and/or the Mexican Riviera out of LA. Booked this for a Christmas cruise this year! Sent from my iPhone using Forums I was on the Star in 2015 for a Mexican Riviera cruise from Los Angeles. I liked the ship just fine. My preference is for the smaller ships. My collection is that the crew was great as was most everything on the ship. My recollection is that the only downsides were no bridge viewing room which is on some ships on deck 10 forward and that the Spinnaker lounge was buried in the back of the ship so there wasn't a big lounge forward with a good view. I believe there was a refurb after I sailed on her. You can see a schematic of the ship at: https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/Pocket-Guide-Star-092216.pdf Enjoy!

OC SeaPA Posted August 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This Dec will be our 4th time on the Star- about a dozen to the Mexican Riviera. we haven't been on since the refurbish, so hopefully that will change. it was a bit tired on our last trip. This is our 3rd group cruise, and the last one some complained about the food. We love the size, the entertainment, the choices, and the ports. We live about 40 minutes from San Pedro, so we love doing this cruise. Also, the ship and the ports are beautifully decorated for the holidays.

Tiggertastic Posted August 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Did the star in July, since they did the work on the azipods this has to be the smoothest and quietest ship we've been on, didn't feel it move from the dock once. The crew worked really hard. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostone65 Posted August 23, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The Star is our favorite ship, we love the layout, the crew was amazing, and the ship well maintained! Have not done the Mexican Riviera yet, but that is most likely our 2019 cruise. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vent1020 Posted August 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'll be on it in March. Sounds like 6 votes for love it and 1 vote for hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted August 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 24, 2017 We sailed on the Star once and the ship was fine. We most recently did the Mexican Riviera in April on the Jewel and that was a great cruise. Laid back. Great times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz21 Posted August 25, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The Star was the worst ship I have ever been on. I have been on 50 cruises. Customer service was the worst. Never again. It's too bad they moved the Jewel out of LA. Just an FYI - I did write a review on the Star. We sailed March 2014. It was called: It's time for an intervention! It has been sometime now and maybe things are better on that ship. I spent two weeks on the Escape in April and it was fantastic. Nothing like the experience on the Star.
