Which ships got most reviews? Last month had an unusual winner: The Norwegian Star with 97 reviews. This month the top 3 are dominated by Norwegian Cruise Line again, but the Star is not even in the top 10 any more with “just” 45 reviews. Instead, the cruise mammoth ships Breakaway, Escape and Epic (all from Norwegian Cruise Line) tower on top of the list.
