 Review Norwegian Star 2002
Norwegian Star, which made it’s debut last November, was the first ship purpose-built for Norwegian Cruise Line’s casual and flexible “Freestyle Cruising” concept.
The ship seems to be running smoothly now, with the exception that people are still getting used to the line’s unstructured cruise program onboard, which includes automatic (but adjustable) gratuity charges, flexible dining times, lots of dining options (some with fees), various bars and lounges, and a casual atmosphere onboard.
As evident by the 6.8 rating that our surveyors gave the Norwegian Star’s service, most were displeased with that aspect of their cruise.
