The Star Princess is a beautiful stately ship on the sea.

Cabin - E731 - The back of the ship balcony was very private with little sun. It was fairly spacious, somewhat resembling bargelike surroundings with a steel overhang and no floor covering - sort of a wet damp metal space with small pools of water upon arrival. Thank goodness for at least 2 loungers, 2 chairs and a small table. The refrigerator was barely operable. The ice bucket was filled once a day unlike other cruises I have been on when it was filled 3 times a day. I had to step out of the shower to shampoo my hair (by the way - the eucalyptus shampoo and conditioner is horrid - so please bring your own) - just a bit too small. The rooms were in need of fresh redecorating - the beds and pillows the worse?! (There was nothing comforting or relaxing bout this bed).

Dining Whenever or wherever - forget about it! This was the worse service ever experienced cruising. We tried to transfer to the formal seating. The ceo and his side kick of the dining room admonished our desire for a table for 2 - 2nd seating dinning claiming there were only tables for 4 or larger. He assured us we would be quite pleased with open dining in the Portofino or another choice. Rude, rude, rude - we were constantly placed next to loud serving stations with smashing of silverware. This constant scenario sent us to Tequila Steakhouse one night. Here you pay $15.00 a person, but it was well worth it. Read more
