teacher/bartender Posted August 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Hello fellow cruisers! Looking at a cruise on the Norwegian Star that cruises out of Reykjavik, ending in NYC. Curious if anybody has done a cruise of our Reykjavik before? Pros? Cons? Iceland is on my list of places to see, so I would like to fly in a few days early before the cruise. Thanks!

Rare YVRteacher Posted August 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Highly recommend the itinerary out of Reykjavik. Do not recommend the Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted August 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Check out the thread by YVRTeacher, (several threads below yours). She just finish a b2b on The Star out of Reykjavik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher/bartender Posted August 27, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thank you! @YVRteacher - just found your live trip review after posting. Such a bummer because everything about the cruise looks amazing, except for the Star apparently, 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstreep Posted August 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Yeah, there's a recent thread as noted above. It might take a while... We did the Star out of Iceland last summer. We had a blast, but it was because we had a great group, and great bartenders. The food was not good (as the recent thread will tell you - STILL not good). We were on the Spirit 2 weeks ago in Alaska, and I can absolutely tell you the food was much, much better. So, beware the food on the Star. We rented a house on the South side of Iceland for a week, and explored Iceland. If we were to do it again, we'd rent a camper. But still a great time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted August 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Just got off the Prima sailing from Reykjavik and highly recommend it. Spend two days beforehand if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship is the Jade. It's one day shorter than the Star cruise. I'm currently thinking about a cruise out of Reykjavik. I'm not sure which ship would be better (Star or Jade)? Haven't been on either one. Hopefully someone had been on both ships and give us their opionion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone had been on both ships and give us their opionion? Jade. Better ship than Star. Star and sister ship Dawn are our least fave ships of the NCL fleet …. no forward Observation Lounge (aka Spinnaker). But … Star goes to Greenland on the way, Jade doesn’t. That is the deciding point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
