LIVE From the Star Princess - May 9, 2019 - LA to Vancouver 3-Day Repo

Awoke to a cold and dreary Vancouver. Also some more ship pics before I disembarked.

Overall, there were a few dining missteps, but the positives far overshadowed the negatives, still making for an immensely enjoyable trip!

I hope everyone enjoyed my LIVE, and happy cruising!

I like the new bedside lamps with USB ports. 

 

Plus the little night light that's motion activated...what a great idea!!

[Scottygirl1]

Thanks for the updates!  Is there any chance you have any other bar menu?  Wine, beer etc?  We are on Emerald Princess in a couple of weeks so I hope they have those USB plugs in the lamps.

Loved following your journey.  We board the Star next Sunday in Seattle.

Where was the night light? Part of the lamp? I didn’t see one as part of the lamp or anywhere else in my cabin.

I could have taken pics of the beer and wine menus had I known. In addition to each bar’s specialty, there’s s fleet-wide standard bar menu that was introduced last Christmas:

A few other notes: this is my first cruise where Canadians have outnumbered Americans. Thirteen-hundred something to twelve-hundred something.

The Vista lounge and Skywalkers shake like a cheap vibrating motel bed when the ship is doing 20 knots, so beware of aft cabins. 

 

And finally, in the words of Captain Tuvo,

“Bye-Bye!”

[Scottygirl1]

That's perfect thank you - someone just a posted recent MDR wine list on another thread so at least I know I've made the right decision now to get the drink package.  Now the only question is how do you know what a cheap vibrating motel bed feels like?  😎

Thanks for sharing great review and as always excellent photos.

That's Princess for you...inconsistent.

We've been on 2 cruises recently (Star & Ruby), inside aft cabins, both had the USB lamps and a night light at the end of the desk near the floor that came on as you walked to the closet/bathroom area. The light stayed on for maybe 30-45 seconds. Very helpful and apparently NOT in all cabins.

Do you recall which color carpet dots were on the port side / starboard side?

Port side was red dots.  We didn't have a night light either (in a mini). We were in the farthest aft port side mini, and had a lot of rumbling, especially the last day. We had a huge balcony, but didn't use it much because of the grungy weather. Lots of indoor activities to enjoy though!

Thanks for this thread! Excited to be on the Star in October!

I am just adding myself to the chorus of "thank you"s for posting.  We were on the Emerald last October for a cruise to Hawaii and just loved it.
