NORWEGIAN STAR CRUISE REVIEW
The Norwegian Star has 11 passenger decks, numbered from 4 to 14. Decks 4
and 5 consist primarily of cabins, with the Medical Center being located on Deck
4.  

The two main dining rooms, Versailles and Aqua, are located on Deck 6. Both of
the restaurants are somewhat tricky to find. Aqua is located between the midship
elevators on Deck 6. To reach Versailles, get off the aft elevator at Deck 7, then
walk down the stairs. The two most popular specialty restaurants, Le Bistro and
The SoHo Room are located midship on Deck 6.

From those of you who enjoy a good cigar there’s the Havana Club, which offers
hand-rolled cigars and cognac. Next door is the Wine Cellar, and the art deco
champagne bar, Gatsby’s.  Going forward is Dazzles Lounge & Nightclub. The
main seating area for the Stardust Theater is located forward on Deck 6.

Deck 7 is the heart of the ship and where you’ll find the Grand Atrium, the
Reception Desk, Gift Shop, Excursion Desk, and Java Café. There are also two
restaurants, the Blue Lagoon, a 24-hour diner, and the Red Lion Pub, a sports
bar complete with wide screen television located just off the atrium. Midship is
Ginza Teppanyaki Room and Sushi Bar, the Teen Club, Karoake Circus and the
Photo Gallery. The balcony for the stardust theatre is located on Deck 7.

The beautiful Endless Summer restaurant overlooks the atrium on Deck 8. The
Internet café is located on Deck 9. Decks 10 and 11 contain only rooms with the
exception of the Barong Spa & Beauty Center on Deck 11.

You’ll find most of the action on Deck 12. The kid’s Splash-down pool, a great
play-area for children of all ages with two water slides is located aft, along with
the fitness center and juice bar. Going forward you’ll find the market café and La
Trattoria. Far forward is the Spinnaker Lounge and the Chapel. Deck 12 is also
the location of the Oasis Pool, The Grill, Topsiders Bar,and Sprinkles Ice Cream
Bar. The Cinema, meeting rooms, shuffles card room and life styles rooms are
all located starboard side Deck 12.

Deck 13 holds the Heli Pad and a secluded sun deck. Planet Kids, the day-camp
style program for kids is located on Deck 13, along with a sports deck and golf
driving net. The Las Ramblas Tapas Bar & Restaurant and the Star Bar are also
located on Deck 13.
The sports court is on Deck 14, as is the Bier Garten, which overlooks the oasis
pool.

CABINS ON NORWEGIAN STAR:
We loved our room, a spacious mini-suite on Deck 11. The room was furnished
with two lower beds which could be made into a king, dressing table, bathroom
with bathtub.The cabins are spacious with cherry-wood. Outside the door is a
disk you can turn for “make up cabin”, “do not disturb” or “turn down cabin”

FUTURE OF THE NORWEGIAN STAR        
The Norwegian Star will continue the Hawaiian itinerary until May 2004 when
Norwegian Cruise Line will move her to Vancouver for a new summer Alaskan
itinerary. She will be outfitted with a new casino and will begin cruising out of
Seattle in May. In September 2004 she will begin Mexican Riviera cruises out of
Los Angeles.

The Norwegian star will be replaced in Hawaii by the new US Flag ship-Pride of
America which will begin service in Hawaii in July 2004.
