pardo59 Posted February 7, 2011 #26 Share Posted February 7, 2011 thanks for your review and pictures. We are going on the same cruise in April and will be staying in 10002. Have never been on a suite before. It looks like you had alot of fun with the perks. One question regarding the Italian restaurant. The cover price, can you order more than one entree or is it an extra fee. I loved the pizza!!! Also, did you have to pay for taking the sodas in your luggage? thanks, pardo59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preds Posted February 7, 2011 #27 Share Posted February 7, 2011 My partner and I are on in two weeks. Looks like you were in an AC? We're in an AD which I think is the same basic room but at the back. Did you like the room? Which sailing are you on? 2/19 or 2/26? Also which deck on the back are you on? I have the 2 BA Aft cabins on deck 10 booked for the 2/19 sailing. I believe the AD's are left and right of us. If you're on the 2/19 sailing come join our roll call! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=27464881&goto=newpost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos7 Posted February 8, 2011 Author #28 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi! At restaurants you can pretty much order the whole menu, at Cagneys they had additional supplement for some items, which I can't remember what. There is no charge for your bottled water or sodas that you may bring onboard. We brought an power strip . No hard liquor allowed, and make sure if you bringing wine to have as carry on . I wish I had brought in my luggage - :rolleyes:a light blanket to be warm while sitting out ( so I bought one in PV - overpaid - I'm awful bargainer), for when is breezy and cold outside - :rolleyes:a small flashlight , :rolleyes:a selection of dvds - the dvd library wasn't impressive: my own music - meaning some sort of MP3/ ipod speakers ...:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos7 Posted February 8, 2011 Author #29 Share Posted February 8, 2011 :rolleyes: Oh, of course - binoculars as we saw lots of whales and dolphins near the ship as well far away - binoculars or a portable telescope to look at the extremely starry skies .

Redheel Girl Posted February 8, 2011 #30 Share Posted February 8, 2011 What a wonderful review and loved your pictures. I stayed in Suite 9000 right below your cabin. Our Balcony was huge but it looks like your cabin is a bit larger. I have had an Aft for Alaska and the forward Penthouse for the Panama Canal and the forward cabin was the best for that cruise. Just looking at your wonderful pictures and reading your review made me feel like I was on the Cruise with you. Thanks for letting me share your trip.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we didn't make too much noise walking around the cabin, and hope we didn't wake you guys up too early if we were noisy... Have you gone to Alaska before? Any tips?

Preds Posted February 8, 2011 #34 Share Posted February 8, 2011 We're the sailing after you (too bad, our roll call is tiny!) and are on the back corner of deck 10. Our roll call hasn't been that busy, maybe 10-12 posters, but most are with fairly decent sized group (like mine of 24). We have 67 signed up for our M&G which will be a very good turnout if they all show. Sorry we'll be missing you by a week, our AFT BA's would have been just a couple cabins down from you. We'll do our best to keep the Star in good shape for your arrival as we disembark! Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiBob Posted February 8, 2011 #38 Share Posted February 8, 2011 We visited all the suites of the 12th before leaving the ship last saturday - they are very spacious, beautiful, and comfy. You'll loveit. We have a SG as well...thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos7 Posted February 9, 2011 Author #39 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The DVD library wasn't too exciting to us, but extensive may have something for someone else, next time will bring some movies from our own library;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistified Posted February 9, 2011 #40 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Carlos, we have been to Alaska twice before on Princess. Absolutley beautiful! I highly reccomend doing the Whale watching with Capt. Larry and doing a helicopter/glacier landing(Orca enterprises) in Juneau! The weather was nice we went in September both years. Thanks for your review we are boarding Norwegian for the first time in March for our 2nd time in Mexico! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonit964 Posted February 10, 2011 #42 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Can you please tell me if you docked in Puerto Vallarta or they anchored and had the tenders running? I am on the 4/16 sailing and my eDocs say we anchor in PV but in all my cruises to Mexico we have always docked. We will be in an AC suite as well, can't wait. Thanks!

Toni The only place we anchored was Cabo. We docked in PV - across from a walmart... and be sure you will end up at Diamonds International, like or not. We are spoiled forever having an A/C cabin - it was fantastic - a little cold but it didn't keep me from being out as much as I could... It feels like you are the only ones in the ship, it's so quiet... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preds Posted February 18, 2011 #44 Share Posted February 18, 2011 We're sailing on the Star Saturday. Our eDocs state we will be anchoring in PV and I think that will indeed be the case, though I hope I'm wrong. I dont think you can judge anchor vs dock status on recent sailings since the Carnival Splendor has been out of commission. The Splendor returns to service this week, thus all bets are off. If your eDocs state anchor, odds are that will be the case. I'll report back on our experience after we return on the 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
