i PARK AT 1 WEST END (11TH AVE)THRU NYC PARKING WEBSITE AND USE THE PARKING COUPON. WALK TO THE PIER.

If you are asking about NY, where the Star is now cruising out of, there is parking right adjacent to the ship, as of this writing the cost is $35/day. It is very easy and convenient.

All U.S. ports have public parking at the pier. There is a charge. Depending on what port you are departing from, search that port on the web for details on directions and fee's.

Depends upon which port you're departing from but most if not all have parking. Refer to "Getting to the Pier" via the "Get Ready for Your Cruise" link above.

There is no self service laundry onboard.
Dry cleaning and Pressing services are available on all ships.

There is no self service laundry facilities on any NCL ship but they do offer a laundry service for a fee like hotels.

No. There are no self-service laundries. All ships offer laundry, dry clean & pressing services. They have laundry bags in your stateroom that you can give to the cabin stewards. Usually around the middle of the cruise they offer discounts on the services.
However, I wouldn't use it for any delicate or expensive dresses.

There are no self serve laundry's on any NCL ship. There is laundry service similar to what you find in any hotel available. Information will be in your cabin.

Yes, there is a hair dryer. If you use hair conditioner after you wash your hair, bring it with you. There is only shampoo and shower gel in the showers.

Yes. All staterooms have hair dryers. They do provide body soap gel and shampoos. However, if you prefer a specific brand of soap or shampoo, carry your own in your luggage,

In general, you do not have to tip in the restaurants. Tips are added on to your bill at the end of the trip.
However, you can add additional tips for exceptional service.
In the main dining room, we do tip the waiters. That way, they know you and they are more attentive to your table the next time you have dinner there.

The gratuities of all you are asking about are covered in the daily service charge you are charged each day. Those monies are then distributed to all the staff members. You do not have to tip additional if you don't want to, but I am sure it would be appreciated, but not necessary.

Only if you feel it's deserved, refer to the "Money Matters" section of the FAQ's for details on tipping & service charges.

Please contact Norwegian Cruise Line at 1-800-327-7030 for more information.

Yes, I do believe all passengers must disembark the ship, but I do believe you can leave your belongings on the ship, assuming you are staying in the same stateroom.

Yes, you will receive information near the end of your first leg about arrangements. Usually you will be escorted off the ship for a short time and then escorted back on.

The check-in process usually starts at around 11 AM and they will let you board the ship around 12 noon. However, you will not be allowed into your staterooms until 2-3 PM to give the staff enough time to clean the rooms. You can have lunch on board the ship and explore the public areas of the ship.

Certainly not before the 21st... in all seriousness though, generally speaking, the ship begins boarding around 11:30am - noon.

Usually boarding begins around 12 - 1 PM but rooms may not be available until after 2-3 PM.

Whenever we have traveled (Mr & Mrs) the beds have been pushed together and it had queen sized bed sheets and blankets.
It is easy to push the beds together. You can always ask the cabin steward to join them and they will being the queen sized blankets.

Usually upon making your reservation they might ask for your bed arrangement; regardless it is a simple fix, if the beds are not arranged as you prefer, simply mention it to your stateroom attendant and they will simply make the change for you.

If it's not setup as a queen already just ask your room steward to arrange it that way.
