I consider Club Class to be like buying a car. You can pay $18,000 or $80,000, it just depends on what you are comfortable with and can afford. Like buying a car, you must shop for the best deal.

We have had a Club Class mini and a suite with Club Class dining and loved it.

In San Francisco you can go to City Hall & get an ID right on the spot.

.... and no questions asked!

On our Connoisseur tour this past August the seats were assigned and all faced forward with airline type drop down trays. It was very comfortable.

Yes, the new cars are very comfortable.

Agree with kdkcruiser. If you're concerned with noise from Club Fusion, try to snag a mini on the starboard side, The Club Fusion stage, which is where any live entertainment will be positioned, is on the port side. We've never experienced any noise.

Emerald deck minis are the best cabins on the ship. We have never heard a sound on the port side.

Just wanted to add that this was last year before the drink menu change.

Could someone tell me where the elite lounge is on this ship? I am used to it in Skywalkers nightclub on other ships but that doesn't exist on this ship. Is it still held from 5-7 pm each evening? Is there the usual featured appetizer each evening & drink specials? Thanks.

It was held in the back corner of the Wheelhouse Bar. Everything was the same as usual.

We were also on Island post dry dock and ate breakfast every morning in Sabatinis:D

We did also,

It takes less time to stop and smile, then be mad about it. Once I learned I didn't have to buy them, I let them take them. But the photographers in the restaurant are like the waitress who stops by to ask how things are when your mouth is full of food. And you cant blurt out that the water you asked for 20 minutes ago hasn't been delivered. Why show up when your mouth is full? So you cant say no.

If you stop and smile, why would you then be mad about it?:confused:

For those who have made requests to partake in the Chef's Table dinner, when did you find out if the request was accepted or not? We like to plan ahead for things and are just wondering when we will know if we will indeed be doing the Chef's table or not!

Always get confirmation within 2 - 10 days.

I fully realize that my answer was simplistic, but didn't want to get into the asymptotic aspect of fluid mixtures.

 

Funny thing, but as I stated, there is no cross-communication between cabins in regards to air, and with the overpressure built into the cabin, even when you open your passageway door, the air flows out, not in, so not sure how you are getting other people's scents or smoke into your cabin. And, in fact, opening the balcony door will force more air from the passageways, with the attendant other people's scents into your cabin. But oh, well.

Stop confusing me with the facts, I'll believe what I want to believe.:confused:

Fine art?????????????

If you're worried about the original drink with sugar/calories, consider drinking lower or no sugar ootions like rum and diet coke or vodka and diet tonic or Soda water. And bring those sugar free flavor drops to change it up, like Dasani or Crystal Lite. They have all sorts of flavors like pineapple Coconut or Mango peach or such so you get the tropical cocktail flavors with zero sugar or calories.

Have yet to find diet tonic on any ship.

Right on, Seabum - you know your stuff.

Three Sheets to the Wind - a ship caught with three sails (sheets) to the wind would wallow and stagger like a drunk.

Bung.....bung....got to think about that one. Oh yeah, a plug used to the stop a leak in the hull.

OK Chief, who keeps the keys to the sea chest?

Unfortunately, in our current PC world, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I will never forget seeing a guy knock over a glass of red wine on the tablecloth of our large shared table 10 minutes after dinner had started. We had to all sit there through dinner with this huge ugly red lake in the middle of the table. Such a waste. That is my opinion of table cloths.

Yes, I hate to waste wine.

At the risk of being attacked by the "serial thread killers", the towels in full suites and club class minis are great.

If you are about to become Diamond, that means you have had all (and more) of the FTTF benefits since you became Platinum.

You will be Diamond when you board your next cruise.

My wife says that I am a grouchy old fart, now I can show her somebody worse.

Thank you.

One of my favorite trips (many, many years ago) was a cadet cruise through the St. Lawrence seaway and the Great Lakes. I hope this comes to pass.

During all these tornados , where are all the ships docked? Have not read anything on this site.:)

I think you meant hurricanes. It is much safer at sea, avoiding the storm as much as possible.

Has anyone been lately?? Have been reading some not very good reviews for Crown Grill on other ships. We are celebrating a wedding anniversary on board so would be interested in how the Crown Grill is on the Star lately.

 

Thanks

We were there in June, while my steak was good (better at home), everything else, including service, was just OK.

Oh no!

I was searching but couldn't find if the Sunshine's walls are magnetic. Thank You

No, but they are made of steel so a magnet will stick to them.;)

The Princess web site shows that all the SA8 CruiseTours for 2018, cruise first northbound, are all "Sold Out", apart from one in May.

Does that sound reasonable from those of you with previous years experience with such tour? Or maybe a glitch in the Princess system/website.

I can check direct with Princess but their local consultant will probably look at the same website and confirm what's there.

We have done it twice, very popular, sells out fast.

We call it Faked Alaska.
