Thank you so much for this info....we board the Star on Aug 20th...Thanks to all who have posted...reviews for the ports and the Star are so limited.....Keep them coming!!!! and Happy travels

Just got off the Star after a cruise to the Greek Isles from Venice. Overall, a great cruise with a couple of negatives.

 

There was very little time at some of the ports, like less than 5 hours in Dubrovnik. We didn't even bother getting off the ship.

 

Miscommunication (or misunderstanding) about Thermal Spa. According to CC, there were 2 relaxation rooms, 1 male & 1 female. This was also pointed out by spa staff during orientation. Turned out some people thought they were both unisex. Also, DW had the experience where 4 women in the relaxation room would not stop a constant, loud chatter. Not very relaxing.

 

We had cabin 9066, a typical balcony. Cabin was fine, except for the fact that the lift for the Zodiac workboat extended right below the balcony. The noise was as good as an alarm clock.

 

Otherwise, the cruise was terrific. Food was great, especially O'Sheehans. The Tenors of Rock was a great show, as was the Las Vegas revue.

 

Early in the cruise, we purchase 4 Cruise Next certificates, and then we found out about the Cruise Next Ultimate booking, so on the last night, we checked it out. We asked about a TA cruise either starting or ending in NYC. Turns out, the maiden voyage on the Bliss fit the bill exactly, from London to NYC. With the ultimate bonus, we were able to get a BA balcony for the price of a BF. Plus we used 2 of our certificates.

Thank you for your informative post...We are doing the same cruise mid August. Your review certainly helps us in our planning. Do you have the Dailies from your trip? If so, can you pls post it. I can provide you with my email address if that is preferable. Thanks in advance.
