Welcome aboard! In this blog post, we'll take you on a journey through the luxurious Aft-Facing Penthouse Suite on the Norwegian Star cruise ship.

Section 2: Ship Overview The Norwegian Star may not be the largest cruise ship, measuring in at 965 feet long, but it offers a unique charm that sets it apart from today's mega cruise ships. With 1172 cabins accommodating 2,348 passengers and 1,311 crew members, the ship has undergone refurbishments, the latest in 2018. But the refurbishments were minor like adding USB outlets to cabins.

Section 3: A Closer Look at the Penthouse Suite The Aft-Facing Penthouse Suite, located on decks 8, 9, and 10, provides a spacious haven for passengers seeking an elevated cruising experience. We dive into room 10228, a prime example of luxury, space and comfort.



Section 4: Exclusive Perks and Thoughtful Touches Booking a suite on Norwegian Cruise Lines comes with a myriad of benefits, ranging from Priority Access during embarkation to exclusive dining experiences at Cagney's and Portofino's, specialty restaurants transformed into a lunchtime haven for Haven and suite guests.



Section 5: Suite Interior Features From plush robes and Nespresso makers to daily deliveries of champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries, the suite is adorned with thoughtful touches. The spacious wardrobe and bathroom area provide ample space for multiple guests to get ready comfortably, but the drawbacks are small shelves and safes and outdated decor, especially in the bathroom. Substantial drapery allows for privacy in the bedroom and bathroom areas from other areas of the cabin, like the desk, table and of course, balcony. 


Section 6: The Balcony Experience The balcony is a highlight of the Aft-Facing Penthouse Suite, offering unobstructed views above and below. The soothing sounds of the ship's wake make it a serene setting, with padded chaise lounges and chairs for the ultimate relaxation.




Section 7: Balancing Act - Pros and Cons As with any accommodation, there are considerations. Worn decor, combined tub/shower rather than a walk-in shower, outdated furnishings, and small safes are drawbacks to be aware of. However, the decision to book this suite ultimately depends on personal preferences, budget, and cruising style.



Conclusion: Is It Worth It? In conclusion, the Aft-Facing Penthouse Suite on the Norwegian Star is a gem for those seeking a balance of exclusivity, comfort, and the amenities of a larger ship. While there are some downsides, the overall experience, including superior service and dining, makes it a worthwhile consideration.

Closing Note: Make Meaningful and Healthy Travel Happen Whether you lean towards opulence or the allure of larger ships, making meaningful and healthy travel choices is key.
