YouTube Video Description

Norwegian Star is one of the oldest ships in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet. She made her debut in September 2001, making her over two decades old! We were curious to see how this old ship would hold up to our experiences on some of Norwegian’s newer vessels. We took a 10-night European cruise to the United Kingdom and British Isles onboard Norwegian Star. Because our cruise was over a week, we had quite a bit of time to explore this ship and see everything it has to offer its guests. Overall, we were quite surprised by this old ship. Earlier this year, we also had the opportunity to sail onboard Norwegian Sun, another ship in Norwegian's fleet that also launched in 2001. We were curious to see what the differences between these two older Norwegian Cruise Line ships would be. Would we like the Norwegian Star more than the Norwegian Sun ship? Here are 19 things that we discovered we loved and hated while onboard Norwegian Star.
