BIG BIG BIG BIG HUG Love and prayers always Mandy The food is hit or miss. I completely agree that it is substandard. Worst food I’ve experienced on an NCL ship. I am finding some good items but generally I would describe the food as awful. I’m trying not to complain too much in the day to day posts but will write a general review of the Star at the end of my time on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvthe-c Posted July 26, 2023 #181 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I am really enjoying you photo collages. Trying not to let them send me into a mini panic attack. 😀 I am afraid I will have to click all photos that have a flower bud or cloud or whatever in them to continue on with your awesome posts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraAnneC Posted July 26, 2023 #182 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Really enjoying reading your review Yvonne! How do you do the photo collages? Is there a special app for this? They are wonderful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted July 26, 2023 #183 Share Posted July 26, 2023 @YVRteacher...BRAVO so enjoying your reviews, glad I found them! You are a woman after my own heart! So enjoy your photos and the photos of the flowers remind me of photos I took in Alaska of the flowers! Enjoy your time and sorry about the poor food, definitely a bummer! ....and those parents with babies in hot tubs need to be sent to parenting classes for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy fool Posted July 26, 2023 #184 Share Posted July 26, 2023 On our recent sailing, we ate in the main dining room twice. It was not good either time. The only really good meal that I had was in Le Bistro. The garden café was okay. I think that the food is not up to the standards that I have experienced on other NCL ships. love the botanical gardens in Akureyri! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted July 26, 2023 #188 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Hi Sweetie, Someone was just asking if there was a Pickle Ball Court on the Spirit. I assume that the answer is no. How are you doing? From what I remember is a Sweet Kid (keep in mind that I am 77, so almost everyone is a kid to me).

I put 2 and 2 together, and realized that the very best meal we had on the whole trip, was there. The food on board the Star was just not good. The lamb at this restaurant was the best I've ever had.

It was the last night of the cruise and Gatsby's bar was quite packed, and the Super Duo did a few rounds of shots (using low alcohol stuff, no spirits) for us all. Great fun all around.

Mrhubbabubba Posted July 27, 2023 #194 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I am really enjoying following along with you. As a fellow educator already back at work for the year, I might be slightly envious! But seriously, thank you for sharing. I’m sorry the food hasn’t been the best. I sincerely hope it gets better. I am considering booking NCL for the third cruise my family takes, and I have gone back and read many of your reviews now, so I know this isn’t the norm (although I have been reading many others say they have noticed a “downgrade” in services lately). I hope your dad is well, and I look forward to reading about more of your adventures (both on this trip and hopefully in the future). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 27, 2023 Author #199 Share Posted July 27, 2023 This is from yesterday. Seydisfjordur Extensive archaeological excavation and research shows the first inhabitant of Seydisfjördur was a guy named Bjólf. He built a cabin at the end of the fjord in 870. Today 700 people live in this tiny town which survives on herring and mining for iron. The brochure at the information centre (I think I was the only person there for info, everyone else wanted free WiFi) describes Seydisfjördur as “one of the most beautiful towns in the country.” It’s a chilly 4 degrees Celsius and even the Canadians are wearing pants! From the tender boat dock I turned right to explore the town and visit an art gallery I had read about. On the next cruise I’ll turn left to hike the waterfall and photograph the domes. I’m excited to tell you about these domes and what they represent! There is another cruise ship here today (Seaventure Limassol) so when 3000+ people descend on a town of 700 it feels busy. The little shops with one aisle are packed so full you can’t turn around. Everyone is in someone else’s photos. I walked the town, went into the little market that is the town’s only source of imported food walked the fjörd, walked the neighbourhood then walked back to the tender point to meet my afternoon tour. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
