Last minut hints on Star

[CruiseFarmer]

We board 1-9 and would like any latest reviews and hints on dining quality, reservations or any thing else. Thanks in advance as I will not be able to resopnd until next week end.

as soon as you board if the reservation dept is open, book all the places you want to eat at for the whole week,, i know it takes the meaning out of freestyle a little but we never got to eat places we wanted too since they were always booked, or we had to book 3-4 days ahead and the only time available was like at 9pm,,,

so make sure you do that right away, theres a button on your cabin phone for reservations, you can use that for all the resturants,,

IMO dont miss la trattoria, very good, and great service ,

and please miss ginza, horrible food and SLOW service,

teppenyaki is good, but ginza, no way .

hope this helps

have a great cruise ,

The Star is a great ship. Don't miss the martini and margarita tastings. They are a great way to meet people and have some fun. Also attend the cc's get together, another great way to meet people.

 

Have fun

We loved Trivia every night in the Pub before dinner.

It was always around 5:30pm and they have fresh popcorn for free.

We never won but we had fun trying and met lots of people.

 

Make all your dinning reservations the first day.

The front desk will have all the dinning room menus and specialty menus so you can make resevations for the nights the main dinning room menu doesn't appeal to you.

We just returned from the STAR (12/16 sailing) - a great ship. I thought the menus were kind of limited (although) the table next to us one night ordered a steak and potato which were not listed at all on the menu). The food was OK, but I sure didn't starve. There was just not a lot of variety. Desserts were excellent - even the sugar free cakes. I was not that impressed with the Blue Lagoon, but my husband seemed to enjoy the hot wings!

Enjoy...
