You will get the GREAT and the "okay" about this cruise in this review. We LOVED the experience AND have a few suggestions.
EMBARKATION: Embarkation was probably the worst organized portion of this entire trip. The Vancouver staff was down to boarding using one entrance (they said they usually use 2) and they didn't think of a simple way to organize people. The result? Lots of people trying to cut in front of others. Even if you were in a Suite or a Priority Member, it did you no good! Not the way to start the cruise off. Good news? That was as bad as it got (which wasn't that bad and had NOTHING to do with the ship itself or their particular crew).
CABIN: The 2 bedroom suite we had for the 8 of us was perfect. Our balcony looked straight off the back of the ship (with a slight view off the Starbird View side). Great setup. Our suite attendant was a joy to work with - always taking care of whatever we needed. Her towel creations for the boys EVERY NIGHT went above and beyond (up to 3 different animals a night for the different rooms in the cabin)!! If something was needed, she took care of it.
Cabin Review
Two Bedroom Suite
The cabin was spacious and perfect for our group of 8. 4 teenagers slept in one bedroom (2 beds and 2 Pullman style bunks); 2 slept on the foldout couch; and then we had the Master Bedroom to ourselves. The balcony was spacious. My only suggestion would be to request a SMALLER table on the balcony - takes up too much room and to have one of the long chairs removed in place of regular chairs to create a little more space.
The beds were very comfortable. Everyone slept well throughout the cruise. 2 bathrooms is phenomenal for a group our size - THANK YOU!
One note: ALL WATER BOTTLES are billable (even if a card says ENJOY the amenities as our compliments). The bar tried to invoice us for those water bottles - we won that battle (not easily though).
Our Suite Attendant was outstanding!!
ENJOY this spacious and comfortable suite.
