We were on the Dec. 24-Jan. 1 holiday sailing of the Star. By we I mean me, my DH, my MIL, and her girlfriend. We had a mini-suite (11178) and I got the other two ladies one of the two BA aft cabins on the 10th deck (10230). Overall, we had a good cruise. Extenuating circumstances (explained below) kept it from being a great cruise.
Embarkation:
We arrived at the San Pedro pier around 10:45 AM. DH dropped us off with all the luggage and parked car. Found a porter almost immediately.
