No work got done this morning Mr Kevin and it is all your fault. ;)

I started reading this review when I saw that it was of the Star. We will be on her for 26 days, doing b2b ta and Panama Canal, in October, a ship we've never sailed so I wanted to learn more about her. I did, and then your writing style got me hooked so that I had to read the entire thread in one sitting, laughing, smiling, enjoying. Thank you!!

 

I can't believe that there's still at least one more post from you to come, if not more.

 

I'd often wondered why ships stayed in Bermuda for three days. Now I know. What a beautiful place. Thank you for all the photos sharing.

Searching for "Star" reviews, and voila! -- we found U:)

 

What -- no stopping in The Swizzle Inn?? We have been signing "The Book" since our honeymoon in 1962 -- yes, we are old (LOL) and very washy-washy/happy cruisers:) -- having returned yesterday from the Pearl.

 

We feel like we were not only travelling with you on the Star and re-visiting Bermuda, but we were hanging on beside you -- we also were hooked on your wonderful narratory and photos.

 

Our last visit to Bermuda was on the Majesty out of Charleston in 2009 and we are ready to cruise again ther again. I (The Wife) can relate to the vroooooooooom experience hopping on the motor scooter - LOL; that happened many years ago:)

 

Love your joyous outlook -- what about writing a Prologue??

 

Happy Cruising . . .

Thank you, I also traveled on the Majesty, In fact it was my first cruise out of Boston to Bermuda in 2006. This is the cruise that hooked me. We docked in St George as I am sure your cruise did as well. That was such a nice port to dock at, yet I think that the mega ships need more room as the Dockyard provides. The ideal port for Bermuda would be of course Hamilton, but alas it is not big enough either.

 

I always rent the scooter so even though I have been to The Swizzle Inn, it is not advisable per my personality to hit this famous Hurricane drink spot. Too much temptation.

 

This review will end tonite or tomorrow, I have played it out too long but this will not be my last missive.

Kev - The Majesty was a great smaller ship with lots of charm. In fact, it too got me hooked on cruising in 2007 and an NCL fan. It was exciting entering the cut into St Georges. WOW look how far we have come since the Majesty era, I have been on the Gem and you are about to board the Breakaway in a few months! :D I have enjoyed your writing style and I like the fact that you took some time between thoughts.

Eileen, as always you are one of my most loyal fans:rolleyes:. I am currently trying to condense the last of my review to a few good witty posts:D and then a finale.:eek:

 

Be patient and you will enjoy I hope.

So I rejoined the group at the Champagne Bar...I know ther was a Judy and I am sure there was a Ron and A John because I remember saying OK...Ron John surf..LOL..But truly I did not remember their names then and I certainly do not now...But we all bellyed up to the bar and Mr. Kevin was served not only a frozen mudslide, but also a dirty banana something..both compliments of somebody and both appreciated.....like I needed more alcohol at this point.

 

About 30 minutes later the nice girl at the La Cucina desk yelled over, hey Mr. Kevin...your table is ready and we all went in and sat.

 

Menus and foccacia funnels came and I perused and decided on The beef carpaccio for an appetizer and a more traditional Chicken parm. I urged others to try the some italian City Rib eye that turns out was 14 0z not 12. I was tempted but I had a steak at 5:00 and to be honest I wasn't even hungry but was in a social mood so I stayed and I ate and I drank and I socialed. What fun!!!!:eek: Everyone enjoyed everything and we were quite fun and loud and fun.

 

The La Cucina on the Star is a very well done restaurant and is highly reccommended. Do not miss La Cucina on the Star.

That said, beware on other ships and ask fellow passengers before venturing, which is essentially what we all did on the Star.

 

After dinner we all split up... some to catch the end of the crew show... some to change... some to stroll... some to drink and some to roll the dice.

 

I chose to hit the Promenade for a smoke and to chat with my smoking friends. I was stuffed and tipsy and the night was so beautiful I decided I would stroll. One of my favorite smoke couples said they were going up to the Bier Garten around Ten and asked me to pop up...so after strolling I did.

 

The night was perfect and I plopped down at a table that my friends had secured and in 2 seconds I had a drink in front of me. Thank you very much.

 

Well I could say that I was a good boy or I could say I was a wise boy or I could just tell the truth and say I got $%& faced. But it was fun and at some point I crawled down to 5502 and crawled into bed. I put on the TV and it was on Rock of Ages ...the part where Alec Baldwin was kissing Russel Brand....Who Knew????:D

 

Up next: The Final....finally....final chapter Day 7

So Kev woke up with a hangover....seriously...a rip roaring hangover....no idea why....But I stumbled around and found my freestyle daily....I perused and saw a lot of cool things but was too tired to highlight and decided to wing it. I opened the curtain to the porthole and it looked kind of gray out and the water was no longer aqua blue but a dull gray green....

So I carefully pulled an outfit together...still shorts but a long sleeved button down and I went with boat shoes instead of the flip flops.

 

I showered and donned my outfit, brushed my cotton mouth 3 or 4 times and ventured out and down the hall and elevated to deck 12.

I passed the library and headed out onto the pool deck. it was rather cloudy and much cooler than I would have hoped for....maybe 50's approaching 60. I plopped down for a smoke, lots of tables open, and no people movers about.

 

After I relaxed a bit I went into the Buffet for my last Star Breakfast (I was doing self-embark at 9:00 AM or so) To say the buffet was packed would be an understatement. Thankfully and for the first time all stations (4)appeared open. There was a line everywhere and a major people mover Jam up by the Bacon station...who knew? Anyways I contemplated Versailling it for sit down but really wanted my sausage and eggs benedict so I decided to wait it out a bit. So I grabbed a cofee and a chocolate milk and elevated down to 7 and hit the promenade for another smoke and a walk off the hangover stroll.

 

After 3 complete transverses I headed back up to 12 and again hit the buffet. It was much clearer now although the people movers were still glommed at the Bacon Station.

I tried all my favorites, hash browns, sausage links, eggs benedict (not dry today) some toast and I grabbed a table way up by the exit for the kiddie pool.

It was good, and I went back for some bacon at the bacon station which you can grab what you like with no bacon police ...thus the mover congestion.

 

I felt much better and decided to stroll the inside venues for the fun of it and to pass the time before the 11:00AM bingo and Cruise give away and buy buy buy more pull tab cards.

 

At 11;00 I headed to Spinnaker and was told that the give away was in the Stardust so I hoofed it down to that venue on the opposite forward section.

There was a lot of people sitting and standing but I saw nothing to indicate Bingo...and I did not have raffle tickets or pull tabs for a free cruise. so I left...line danced out,....headed through the Duty free and decided to pick up another 40.00 carton of cigs... and went back to 5502, left and down and then back and right and down to my room to drop off the cigs and check out that freestyle daily again.

 

Next up: The last afternoon

The weather wasn't great, but it wasn't a disaster either. After a quick trip down to 5502 I decided to revisit all my favorite spots and generally recover and relax, so with a book in hand I headed up two flights of stairs and out to the promenade. it was probably in the low to mid sixties with very little wind so it wasn't so bad being out here in the enclosed promenade. I was able to scoop a lounger and I sat back, smoked a cig and read my book while napping for several hours and enjoying the motion of the ship and the views of the sea. Of course people watching and schmoozing was also a big part of this heavenly last afternoon.

 

Around two O'clock I headed on up to deck 8 for a last meal in the Blue lagoon. Others must have been thinking the same and it was quite crowded but I managed to snag a balcony table...that is a table that overlooks the atrium. There was a band playing, not xcite but a trio type and the atrium was crowded as well. There seemed to be a show with kids doing circus tricks and all in all it was festive and fun.

 

I ordered the wings of course and the cream of tomatoe soup of course ...ask for xtra bleu cheese for the wings... and this time I ordered a chicken sandwich...diet and all ya know.

 

All came...all looked good...all tatsed good and all were consumed...or rather scoffed since I had not eaten since 9:00 AM and ask anybody...thats a long time on a cruise ship...LOL

 

I had checked my bill at Guest services this morning and I owed close to $400.00 with Daily Service Charges pre-paid so I was rather happy at that. For what I did and what I drank this was well below what I had budgeted.

 

After lunch I elevated down the glass elevator one floor to deck 7 and the atrium. I headed to the Red Lion pub and it was packed. There was a whole crowd also standing and everyone was listening...lookimg around...laughing and lapping cocktails and popcorn and nachos and hot dogs so I joined in. My motto...when on a ship...sip...and I did....sip that is..... Soon an impromptu or planned trivia round started and I had a blast watching and trying to guess the answers...which I was good at but not part of a team.

 

Around 5:00 I headed down to 5502 for a replenishment nap and to just relax. The end was near and I was beat.

 

After my nap I dressed in cold weather gear, khakis, button down, boat shoes and I headed to the Champagne Bar for a Mr. Kevin happy hour.Everyone was there and everyone was happy and I guess that is why they call it happy hour, so kev decided to get happy as well. The end was near but not quite here and one should never end their cruise until they pass customs on Sunday Morning...so I put on a smile and bought several drinks for those who had done well by me and we all ate pretzels and nuts and exchanged e-mails etc...

 

For tonite I only neede to go to Elements. Everything else was superfluous as I had drank and eaten myself to death.

 

As a recap seems poignant I will do one here as we are close to nigh.

 

  • Ship was clean, clasy and Beautiful 9.5 out of 10
  • Bier Garten was Great for outdoor fun 10
  • Star Bar was awesome 9
  • Buffet was OK 5
  • Breakfast buffet 8
  • Lunch buffet 6
  • Dinner buffet 1
  • Red lion pub 9
  • Champagne Bar 10
  • Stardust theater 5
  • Spinnaker lounge 4
  • Nightime Dancing Disco 0
  • Atrium 10
  • Promenade needed more loungers 8
  • Cabin with not flat screen 8
  • Comfort level of bed 10+
  • Pool Area useless unused slides 5
  • Crew Friendliness 10+
  • Officers visibility 10+
  • Entertainment all around ship 10
  • Stardust entertainment 7

I enjoyed the shows for the most part except shout

  • Deck party 10
  • White Party Indoors 6 should have been on deck
  • Poolside grill Pulled pork burger 9
  • Coffee 7
  • Blue lagoon 10

Overall ship rating 8.5

Overall Bermuda Rating 10

Overall Weather 9.5

 

So I headed over to the duty free and grabbed a bottle of gran marnier for like 18.00....35-40.00 at home. I brought it to 5502 and headed up two flights to the Stardust for Elements.

This show that focuses on earth, wind water and fire,...duh ...elements was amixture of great song and dance, magic, acrobatics and just overall high energy and sheer talent. I stood by the bar area and was mesmerized. This show is what sets NCL apart from all the others. Epic does not have elements but the Spirit did.

 

Elements 10

 

So after the show I decided to end my week at the Star Bar. It was the perfect setting for a last night relax and a drink and a great jazz piano. many people were in and out and I got to say goodbye to a lot of nice people.

 

I was in bed by 11:30 with a wake up for 7:30. I did not bother to turn on the movie channel as I knew two 5 minute scenes by heart and I turned to the ships channel and that line was getting ever so closer to New York.

 

I slept like a baby and maybe cried like one to.

 

At 7:30 I got a bzzzzzzzzzz and I woke up, showered and changed into traveling gear. We were in New York. ...Not Bernuda...New York. Oh well...all good things...I had a 10:30 train to Boston so all along I had planned on self disembarkation so after packing, leaving my steward another $20, I took one last look around and headed out the door, down the hall left to the elevator andp to deck 7 and out the side door and down the ramp and smack into a line of passengers with their luggage, kids, grandparents, people movers and customs forms.

 

All in all it took about 30 minutes to get through and then I exited and grabbed a Taxi to 8th Avenue Penn Station.

 

I was well on time for my train and at 10:30 I reluctantly draged myself and my luggage onto the train, down the aisle...past the farting lady and into the next car and plop...I be done.

 

And that was my wonderful week on the Star

I Thank you for your loyalty, your participation and your kind words.

I met a lot of nice people through the ship and through this thread as well.

Again Kev thanks you.

 

Here's Kev in case you see me on a ship someday. God bless you all.:)

at least you know how to get the photos in the review. Even with many great tutoring sessions from other posters, I have never been able to get them from there to here!

 

Im booked in a studio next November on Epic, so not to rush you or anything:D I will also look forward to anything you have to relate be it in a full review or a mini one:) Thanks again.

Hey Kev, well, it was definitely worth the wait! You did a great job taking us all along on your trip and gave us lots of laughs along the way. Thanks so much for staying with it so that we got to the finale!

I am sure there are many of us that would love to sail with you someday. In the meantime, looking forward to your next review:)

Thank's for being a part of this journey and for sharing with all of my loyal followers. I am definetly planning another review but can't decide between Epic from Miami or Spirit from NOLA. The reason I hesitate on NOLA is because I was so $%%$ faced I can't remember much...LOL...Just like Kev Ha?:D

 

Again Thank's :cool:

Kev - As you say, all great things must come to an end! Well, here we are at the end of your saga. To say I enjoyed your saga would be an understatement. I looked forward to your detailed, descriptive story and even liked that you played it out a bit. My friend, I will look for you here on CC and I requested you as a friend, so look for that request. Start getting excited about the Breakway, as I am sure that will be an amazing journey. Thanks again for the laughs, as there were many! :D

 

P.S. With regard to your next story, IMO the Epic would probably be a good choice. I think many would enjoy your version from a studio point of view. Just saying....

Kev thanks for the great review. As you can see we will be on the Star in April in the Western Caribbean. Never been to Bermuda but enjoyed your review of it. I now know a lot more about the Star than I did before your review.

 

We will be in NOLA for a week before the cruise. This time I want to see it all, if I have the energy. We can rest on the ship.

 

Thanks again,

Norine

Thank's Norine.

 

I did the Spirit out of New Orleans last March. I was there 3 days pre and 3 days post. I tried to do it all....and did...and it took me three days to recover on the Spirit...LOL.

NOLA is just down right decadent and you see people, families, Grandparents and yes...even kids...drinking up a storm...anywhere ...everywhere...Crazy Place but I loved it anyways.

 

Watch for my Epic Review coming soon.

 

Again, Thank's

Kev - You should go ahead and start your new Epic thread when you can. Kim is back at school now, so she probably won't be here on the boards too often. Your pictures were good but since you seem to want to make them larger, I will tried to find the thread on here I read awhile ago instructing how to do that. Since I am not of the photo mindset I don't remember the details, but I remember reading about it. My email is camz0001 yahoo if you want to keep in touch. Eileen

:DOK, Kev is gonna try a new pic site so he can begin his Epic review.

Photobucket is a $%#$% program and I no longer have the patience for it so:
