Star Princess

[crimlawwpb]

Anybody cruised on the Star Princess?

[michellec]

Yes, We sailed on one of it's first sailings and loved it. It's a beautiful ship. The Italian restaurant was great but be prepared to stay about 2 2/12 hours - it's a nice, leisurely meal. When we were aboard the entertainment was great. In regards to cabins, we booked outside/ob

[crimlawwpb]

we booked an outside/balcony as well for our honeymoon in Nov to West. Carribean

[michellec]

oops, hit the button too soon. We booked the outside/obstructed view cabins and actually had a pretty great view. Where is the Star Princess sailing to these days?

[crimlawwpb]

it looks from the pictures I've seen that the people above you can look down onto your balcony, is that true?

[sue d. miller]

We are booked on the Star in October, western.

I'm going to be saling on Star after my November wedding, too!

[crimlawwpb]

we sail on Nov 21, seven days, it should be fun. my first time cruising, hope the seas are calm.

[caribbean2000]

We'll be sailing next April (so far away!) - we've sailed on both the Grand and the Golden so I'm sure there won't be any major surprises. We liked the (new) Eastern itinerary and got a GREAT price for a balcony. Now to just sit tight for a year... Gene

[crimlawwpb]

do you choose to sail princess over any other line for any particular reason?

Was on the Star last March in the Mexican Rivera.Had a mini suite and loved every minute of it.

[sue d. miller]

Absolutely. Excellent service, friendly crew, great food, 24/7 buffet, 24/7 pools and hot tubs. great view off the aft. I love Princess.

crimlawwpb,

 

whether or not people can look down on you depends on which the deck and sometimes location. Which cabin to you have?

 

1972 - Song of Norway, Caribbean

1980 - Hawaii American Curise line, Tahiti

09/01/2002 - Veendam, Alaska

05/29/2003 - Pacific Princess, Alaska

11/26/2003 - Star Princess, Australia/New Zealand

 

5/28/2004 - Star Princess, Venice to Barcelona

 

11/06/2004 - Diamond Princess, Mexican Riviera

We were on the Plaza deck last September to the Mexican Riviera. Since we had small children, we really love the carpeted corridor outside our cabins. It was wider than most corridors on the ship because we didn't have any doors (to other cabins) across the way, so the kids were able to run around outside our cabin. We had 2 toddlers who didn't walk very well then....so it was very safe for them to learn to walk in that corridor. We were concerned that our kids' noises would bother other passengers, but I don't think anyone was around from 10am-6pm. Everyone was out of their cabins having fun. We had inside cabins (so no windows).

 

The only drawback is that you can hear the sounds from the stage above if you were in the corridors. We can't really hear much noise from above sitting in our room.

 

They had a great kids' program.

 

They had great food.

 

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

 

HTH.

crimlawwpd - are you asking me about Princess? If so, yes there are plenty of reasons we keep coming back to Princess after a brief flirtation with RCI (very good, would go with them again if the price was right) and Carnival (yuck). I don't want to hijack this thread though so e-mail me if you want my biased opinion why Princess is so great! Gene

We were on Star Princess last month and posted a review. http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=3738

Cactusrose,

 

We are on deck: Caribe 714

 

Thanks, Wayne

[geoherb]

We've been on the Star, Grand, and Golden Princess. I think the Star was my overall favorite--but probably because we went on it to Alaska.

 

We have enjoyed all four of our Princess cruises. We would go on Celebrity or Royal Caribbean again. We haven't been on HAL, but I think we'd like it too.

Hi there,

 

we have cruised on the Star twice now, once to Mexico for a week and then nearly 3 weeks cruising Australia to Bangkok in February just gone.

 

We LOVE..... the Star, she's just beautiful, the crew were great, the food was wonderful, and we had the best time...both times!!! The entertainment was very good also.

 

We have booked another 3 weeker for 10 months time, if the Star had been doing the same cruise, we would have cruised on her again, but this time it is the Sapphire, which I'm sure will be just as great.

 

You will have a fabulous time on this ship, so much to do, and such lovely surroundings.

 

Some balconies are overlooked, but some are half covered, and others fully covered, depending on the grade of balcony or mini that you have picked.

 

Regards

 

S&D

CactusRose or anyone else: we'll be in PH Suite C420 - do you know about the privacy of its balcony? Thanks!

Hey gang:

 

Is there a way to find out what terminal the Star will dock at for cruise to Cozumel in Nov 2004? I understand that there are 3 and I want to have a jeep rental delivered to the dock.

[jrtmouse]

I went on the Star Princess back in April 2002 to Mexico. It's a beautiful ship. The entertainment and service are excellent. I would definitely give it a try. In fact, we're looking into sailing on the Star again in January 2005.

We were wondering if anyone has chosen in the pc dining. We have been reading about the C Princess and people making reservations for 2. If you wanted to eat around 6 pm and wanted a table for 2 do you need to make reservations?
