tashaaa Posted January 21 #2 Share Posted January 21 Thank you sooooo much for all the documents. This will help a lot. Will be on Star end of May. How was it overall? Got really mixed feelings about the Star, but the itinerary is really good. Will go with low expectations and maybe will be surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic cruise, the staff were great and Antarctica of course was amazing 🤩 The WiFi however was dire, while I did not expect good coverage in Antarctica, I did expect reasonable coverage just off the coast of Buenos Aries. There was a constant line of people being granted extra minutes due to the WiFi problems. That said, WiFi was the only issue on an amazing cruise, lovely ship and fantastic staff. I took me forever to write all the hero cards, it was so good.🤩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really strange as the internet was fine the first few days and of course you can't expect good coverage in Antarctica but it was the last few days. It was impossible to even send a text only email in under 15 minutes. In fairness to the internet manager, who was excellent and granted me an extra hour of time on two occasions. I even showed him an email iny outbox that had been sat there for 3 days since the Falklands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milolii Posted January 22 #12 Share Posted January 22 This is wonderful. Ty. What suite did you have? The lack of internet explains why we haven’t heard much from this cruise. Some of us were following. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swvlhead Posted January 22 #15 Share Posted January 22 Ziggyuk I'm on the Star end of May I was wondering if you went into the Thermal Spa and if it was worth it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingo Posted January 22 #16 Share Posted January 22 We got a 10 day pass to the Thermal Spa on the Star for our 2021 Greenland/Iceland cruise. Best money we've ever spent! We're on the March 3 sailing Buenos Aries to San Antonio and booked it for the 14 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top right of the app there is a download button, it's not great, sometimes it takes an hour to kick of the download, other times it starts right away. I hit it multiple times in frustration (and a few G&Ts) one day and ended up with dozens of downloads later in the day 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 0106 Posted January 24 #22 Share Posted January 24 @ziggyukAny advice or comments on embarkation in Buenos Aires. I understand the terminal was damage and we should report to an alternative location with our luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the terminal was damage and we should report to an alternative location with our luggage. Yes I can actually, it is only a short way away but Latitudes priority helps a lot. If you have priority, make sure you mention it at the bag drop at the temporary terminal. We were given a numbered bus ticket and asked to wait until our number was called, I know some people waited there for a long time. Luckily we mentioned we were Sapphire and had priority, we were immediately given a different colour card and told we could alight the next available bus, we waited no time at all at the temporary terminal. Once bussed to the regular terminal for boarding, its the same procedure as normal, three lines, suites line have first priority, then Latitudes line have second priority, then the long third line of no priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
