January 20, 2014. The Norwegian Star. This Ship.

Ken and I ate a most wonderful dinner last evening. The Cagney Steak house is the name. The food was excellent and the service superb. For the first time in months, we both ate steak…good Angus beef. Our sister ship, The Norwegian Pearl, arrived in Miami to find 100 passengers ill with a virus, so the Health Department was all over both ships. Before any passengers on our ship were allowed to board, the sanitizing crew had to make the ship ready, so the passengers were made to wait in long lines. We arrived at the dock area at 1:00, and it was 3:30 when we entered our cabin. This ship is full of older people, many with canes, so it was tiresome for us but close to impossible for many folks. I have seen only two kids on board and no young adults. Most folks are retired so we fit right it although we miss all the children who were on board on The Allure of The Sea. It is a different clientele. Tonight we dine in an Asian restaurant. So far so good!!
