We had an all over terrific time onboard the Star. Cabin service is not something we're used to and we constantly seemed to interupt our steward or "be in his way" when we went in and out of the cabin constantly throughout the day. We had fabulous accommodations and the food at Horizon lived up to our memories of our transAtlantic voyage. We're not big on the formal dining aspect. We had an incredible meal at the Crown. We had lovely service in the Lotus Spa for some real "girl time" and we had the outdoor hottub on the Neptune deck to ourselves most of the time.

Having been to Alaska a few times before we thought we should really try the cruise route. Who better to do so with than Princess? According to us and the folks we talked with on board, no one does it better. We really enjoy the ambience and appreciate the slightly more mature passenger set.

One thing, I felt that the designated smoking area on the Neptune deck was really neglected to the point of almost always being dirty???

Balcony

Cabin BA

L206, Lido deck balcony second from the very front end of the hallway.

Same deck as the pook areas and Horizon court so very easy access.

Minimal traffic in the hall.

Lots of stomping overhead and I don't know why. No cabins overhead.

Secluded with the whole ocean outside your balcony. Yes, we did the buff thang!

Ample space with the beds converted to queen.

Good water pressure. Lots of hot water.

Potable water until the last day when it had a decidedly chlorine aftertaste.

Drawback - being at the end of the steward's list of things to do can get.

He actually told us he didn't replace out pool towels because he ran out before he got to our room. What?

We'd love this room again!
