Norwegian Star 22 June 2008 Alaska

[mypleasure]

I finally finished my review, uploaded it a few hours ago and it is now live in the review section if anyone is interested.

 

Many thanks to everyone on these boards for all of the tips and advice I picked up prior to cruising. You helped make it a very good trip for us, so good we are doing it all again next year on the Pearl.

Great review and thank you.

Excellent review. I was on the NCL Sun to Alaska in August and the weather was horrid! We had a great time and Alaska is quite beautiful.

 

As for the smoking lounge... does the Star have a cigar bar? That's where some of us would meet for after dinner drinks and a smoke. :)

I enjoyed reading your review, mypleasure! Any chance you took pictures of that beautiful rainbow? I'd love to see it!

MyPleasure.. I have been waiting for this review. I'm going right now to read it. I can't wait.

Jean.. That was a GREAT review. It included every thing, that IMHO, a review should include. Thank you for posting it.

 

Did you guys try that restaurant in Enumclaw I recommended?

Thanks for the compliments on the review. Took me too long to write it but one thing is certain we are going to return next summer.

Great review, thanks. We're sailing the Star to Mexico in a few weeks. What is the coffee beaker for $10?

thanks,

Debbie and Tony

At the java cafe in the atrium they had some thermal beakers designed to keep your drink hot for up to 45 minutes. The cost was about $10 BUT you got unlimited free refills of coffee and hot chocolate into it for the duration of the trip!

 

Bargain!

I thought the coffee on board was free all the time? Or can you refill the beaker with specialty coffees?

thanks,

Hello My Pleasure!

 

I was on the cruise with you, I stayed in the Garden Villa that week. I have to say that rainbow was just beautiful with the scenery! We took a bunch of pictures of it also! Glad you had a great time on the cruise. We didn't really leave our room, it was like we had our own ship!

I told you it was a great review. Very well put together. Congrats.. hope to cruise on the same cruise as you some day. Get the feeling you guys are our kind of people.. 8-)

Your pictures are beautiful and your review a great read! We don't go until next June. With the weather we are having in Texas today, it seems so long away, but your pictures and review remind me of why I booked this trip!

 

Thanks for sharing!!

We were on the same cruise and had a great time. We rented a minivan in Skagway and probably saw the same bear going through Yukon territory! I have not done my review yet and probably won't get to it. If you plan on doing another NCL, consider getting a NCL credit card. The points really add up quickly.

i wish I could get the credit card but they are not available in the UK unless anyone knows better than I do, in which case please tell me how to get it.

 

I currently use an American Express/Mastercard combo which gives me airmiles which should cover our future flights. I use it for all of my business expenses!

 

Terry, I think I would love to cruise with you and Doug. I reckon we would have a real laugh. Maybe sometime in the future we will be able to say "hey I'm on that cruise too".

 

 

Hey Bailey I never did catch up with you but it was a great week wasn't it and I am glad you too saw the rainbow, quite a few I talked to on the ship missed it and for me it was an amazing experience, the best my husband and I had ever seen.
