I
previously had the opportunity to take a cruise aboard Norwegian Star
when she sailed year-round in Hawaii. I had the unfortunate
experience of having my camera stolen and lost nearly all of my
photos. I am pleased and very proud to have toured her again and
to produce the following photologue. |
