Norwegian Star Shines with New Dining, Entertainment Venues as Ship
Readies for Europe Season
Posted Mar 24, 2015 ---
The Norwegian Star
re-enters service with new 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar, additional complimentary
dining venue O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar & Grill and now complimentary
Ginza Asian restaurant
Norwegian Cruise Line welcomed Norwegian Star back into
service on March 17, 2015, following a two-week dry dock where the ship
received numerous enhancements and new dining and entertainment venues as
she readies for her busy summer season sailing the Baltic Capitals and
Norwegian fjords from Copenhagen.
A number of additional guest area enhancements
included: updates to the Casino and Photo Gallery, new carpets and flooring
throughout guest areas, window replacements, upgrades in galley areas and
updates to the pool deck. Norwegian's innovative digital signage, first
introduced on Norwegian Breakaway, has also been added to the ship. The
interactive touch screen signs allow guests to order specialty items, get
directions and reserve dining and shore excursions simply with a scan of
their stateroom key, providing even more freedom and flexibility for guests
to create their ideal vacation experience.
Technical modernizations also took place during the dry
dock. The ship received an Azipod hydrodynamic upgrade and state-of-the-art
silicone paint on the hull, in order to further improve fuel efficiency.
Additional significant technical and safety updates include: lifeboat and
tender boat release systems upgrade; thrusters and stabilizer maintenance;
and ballast and bilge piping replacement.

Norwegian Star
Norwegian Star was the first of two Libra class vessels constructed at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany; the second is Norwegian Dawn.
The Norwegian Star entered service at the end of 2001. She was originally intended to operate with Star Cruises under the name SuperStar Libra, but six months before delivery it was decided that the ship would be assigned to Star Cruises' subsidiary, Norwegian Cruise Line.
The vessel was christened at the Port of Miami in a dual ceremony with another new NCL vessel, constructed at Germany's Lloyd Werft shipyard, the Norwegian Sun.
