I Tried a 12 Day Cruise on a 24 Year Old Ship

Editorial Summary

The creator documents a twelve night cruise aboard the Norwegian Star, a vessel built in 2001 that lacks the high tech amenities found on newer, larger ships. While the ship lacks features like go karts or water slides, the creator notes that the smaller scale offers benefits such as easier embarkation and more personal interactions with the crew. The itinerary focuses on Northern Europe, including destinations like Spitsbergen, Iceland, and Norway. Throughout the journey, the creator explores various dining options, ranging from the main dining room to specialty restaurants like Ginsa and Kagenys Steakhouse. The experience highlights the ship's spacious outdoor areas and the unique atmosphere of sailing in high latitudes, where daylight can last for months. Despite the older age of the ship, the creator finds the vessel well maintained and clean. The cruise concludes with reflections on how the ship's age and smaller capacity influence the overall passenger experience, ultimately finding the interesting itinerary made the voyage worthwhile.
