Windstar Cruises - Star Breeze Reviews

Always the staff is exceptionally gracious and that is greatly appreciated

The ship was the smallest ship we have been on so it didn't have all of the Amenities some of the midsize ships have. We were a family of 13 traveling around Iceland and we couldn't have picked a more entertaining and accommodating Crew,staff and entertainers than we had on the Windstar Star Breeze

This is my 3rd Windstar cruise. I really enjoy them

A very nice cruise, enjoyed it from Alaska to Tokyo. Looking forward to our next Windstar cruise in One month, the Star from Lisbon to Barbados

My only objection is that they do not give you wine or beer with dinner. Several other cruise lines do. Buy their booze package or pay for everything. They invite you to a cocktail party as a repeat guest and you have to pay for your cocktail unless you want champagne! Good was excellent in dining room but if you want an alternative you have to make a reservation and it fills up quickly as there is only one area for alternative

Lovely cruise to a beautiful country. Ship was in great condition and staterooms were large and comfortable. Good variety of food available. Enjoyed everything about the ship except for the fact that we had to pay for wine at dinner. That would be my only objection. We have been on other cruise lines that did provide wine for dinner and certainly would expect Windstar to do the same.

This was our third Windstar vacation, and the first on a no-sails ship. The last two experiences were better. The itinerary was great, the food excellent (as always) and the cabins magnificent. However, we felt that the all-inclusive element was eroding and the dining room service was just OK. The charge for WiFi ($350 for unlimited) was exorbitant, especially for terrible service; shore excursions seemed over-priced; drinks were measured like a laboratory chemist (the drink packages were over-priced, too); and the ship itself needed work. For example, in the windy conditions of the Atlantic, they made no provision for windscreens around the pool area and poor wind protection in the breakfast/lunch on-deck dining areas; the on-deck BBQ was a survival contest in high winds and cold temperatures. A simple canvas curtain would have made it all bearable. All in all, it seems like Windstar has grown too fast and can't maintain the quality with a larger fleet. I'd try one of the ships with sails again, but first will try another small-ship cruise line for comparison.

I really enjoyed the experience on a smaller ship with all the amenities of a large ship. The crew was delightful and interactive with passengers. Look forward to cruising again with windstar

This was the best vacation and favorite cruise we have ever taken. The crew was amazing, especially how well they took care of our gluten free friend!!! They were unbelievable!! Thank you Windstar! PS. Abdul was a wonderful cabin steward!! I'm not the neatest person and we always came back to a perfect room. :)

Having never cruised on Windstar, we didn't really know what to expect and it exceeded all possible expectations. Rather than a big impersonal ship, they treated us like family on their personal boat. With less than 200 passengers, we formed friendships with almost half of our fellow cruisers. We will never go back to the big ships again.

I would cruise with Windstar again (small ship, not sailing) depending on itinerary.

Very interesting passage through Panama Canal. Loved the commentary as we were travelling through it. Would have liked two days at Quepos and skip Bahia Herradura. Also, a better description of what the beach options were other than excursions would have helped people like us who were first time Windstar customers. Moderate to strenuous meant for old overweight people. We were a little disappointed at the slow pace of "hikes".

great crew,great staff, great fellow travelers

Best cruise ever, wonderful service, food was awesome would highly recommend

It was a Wonderful trip. Our agent Carol Brocksmith did a great job!
