Ship Reviews

The good: - beautiful ship that's visually pleasing - some outstanding bars with excellent service (Good Spirits, Spellbound) - very consistent housekeeping - nice fitness area The "could use some work" - if you're going to sell the Plus package don't list "juice bar" as part of it for this ship when there is no actual juice bar on the ship - thermalspa experience can be a bit chaotic, lockers kept beeping and not working the first couple of days, no chairs by the hair dryers, no cold room, and sometimes a general lack of attention by the staff - weird to have activities like sudoku and crosswords handouts but no pencils - we stayed on deck 16 and the Euphoria + after party was way too loud. Bass beats until 1 am very audible in our room - Limited lunch hours at casual dining restaurants - Lack of engagement from our room steward who never introduced himself to us the first day, I don't think he even knew our names - Some staff looked disengaged and not very warm, others were excellent - Using bartenders to man Spellbound entrance seems like a waste of their talent. And strange that they could craft specialty drinks with egg whites but when asking for a whiskey sour was told they can't use that exact same egg white for a standard drink - a lot of people seemed to love the entertainment (Gen X+ boomers) - I am a millennial and found the shows very mediocre and the sound balance very off - some of the singers were out of tune I know the "could use work" is kind of long, but since Princess didn't ask for feedback, wanted to just leave it here for people to decide if they care about these things or not.

Birthday Weekend! The Star Princess delivered! There were lots of activities, live bands, several restaurants and bars offered throughout the ship. They did come at a cost but if you chose one the premier package I believe it included 2. We had the Princess Plus package which included 15 drinks daily (did not have to be alcohol) that you literally enjoyed your regular specialty coffee & deserts, drinks and spirits without feeling like it wasn't going to be enough. The comedian! Ken Boyd, oh he got me good on my actual birthday. I was late and somehow found myself almost on stage when I entered the theater. I tried to backout but he was not having it. It was a running joke for 2-3 mins...Ken Boyd is naturally funny. The rooms! stunning beautiful. The only draw back, the shower door should've been sliding. Its tough to have a swingout door in a bathroom that small. I know their intentions were to give you that "at home" feel and they really did, that's the only neg of the rooms. Movies under the stars was great! They played current movies and some oldies but goodies. Onboarding was a cake walk, and so was the disembark. SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS! most bars poured a good drink. The staff "Hello, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, How's vacation going, is there anything else I can help you with, you're welcome, come back agains" were spot on. They didn't miss a beat. If you're a cruiser no need to go into details about the ports. IYKYK. I plan to book this cruise asap, I really enjoyed an adult themed (no water slides) ship, with plenty of relaxing areas as well as turn up in the Dome, shot out to the DJ, can't remember his name, he gave me so many shot outs people on the ship knew it was my bday & I felt the entire ship celebrated with me. I can't say enough wonderful things about this ship, the staff and cruise. If you've never been on a new ship, this one resolved the "crowed elevator, long wait, and when the door opens its too full" mystery. I don't know if other ships have this system but Star definitely gets a 5 star for that! Overall perfect vacation on the Star Princess!!!! Oh and the horn blows "Love Boat" as it is leaving the port.
