"Perks" are the same for BA or AF. Congrats on your upgrade though. You'll enjoy the extra room. We did. It's about 40% bigger overall.

 

Enjoy your cruise! :)

You're right, they don't.

 

You're paying for the extra space. Bigger bathroom with a tub/shower combo, more living space, curtain divider between the sitting area and the bed/s, small table with 2 chairs, bigger balcony and more storage space.

 

The OP got a good deal.

You are correct, I meant to erase that part...my bad! :(

We had bottled water but figured it was NOT complimentary. Was it?

 

Happy Cruising! :)

In the OS category and above, you get free bottle(s) of water. The rest of the cabins have to pay for the bottled waters, at least that was our experience on our Feb 08 cruise.

We have been on the Star twice in the last year.. AE cabin 9232 and we had to pay for every bottle of water we drank both times.

That was my impression too.

I was charged for one last year. I had everything emptied so after a 3 day hassle I finally got it removed from my bill. Then they added it back on the final bill. At that point it wasn't worth the fuss again so I let it go.

It still left a sour taste though...especially since I've always said I don't understand people paying for water. :rolleyes:

We had something like $12.50 on our bill that we noticed on the last day for beverages from the mini-bar. We had everything removed too and the bill never was adjusted, and like you it wasn't worth the trouble. If it had been a large amount I would have pursued it though.

 

Happy Cruising! :)
