Creator's Key Takeaways
This is my first time on the Norwegian Star and I can tell you it will not be my last. I absolutely love this ship.
Definitely going underneath the Skyway Bridge at night is one of the best benefits of going out of the Port of Tampa.

Embarkation Day is always a tiring day for me, but this was one of the easiest Embarkation Days that I have ever had. But what happens once I am on an almost 25 year old ship? Will it have enough to keep me occupied? Is the ship too old and too small for someone to have a great cruise? Watch and find out my first thoughts on this ship, my cabin, the food and shows as well as everything else. And don't forget the biggest highlight of going out of the port of Tampa, going under the Skyway Bridge. No matter how many times, it still feels that we will hit the underside of the bridge. Thank you @norwegiancruiseline for the wonderful gifts in the cabin for me. They for sure made this cruise that much better than I knew it was going to be!
