Sail Date: Sep 2011

I set to sail on STAR VIRGO on the 4th of September from Singapore with my wife and another couple from Dubai, where I have lived all my life. It was my maiden cruise voyage and our excitement skied heights with the reviews that we had received about the STAR CRUISES experience. After our amazing stay in Singapore we were expecting the gala times to continue on the cruise, but our disappointment started the moment we entered our rooms.

The management at the check in seemed decent. The number of people was too many but yet the check in and the luggage drop went smoother than expected. But the moment we entered our rooms, our fairytale second honeymoon was kind of interrupted. Besides requesting for a couples room we were given 2 split beds with the most unexpected level of hygiene. Besides hiring out the window rooms, we were almost convinced by the bellboys on our floor that we had made a wrong decision and that upgrading to a balcony room by paying a heavy tariff difference would be a smarter move. We were almost in minds to upgrade but later decided not to. And it was at the time of the refusal to the offer that we were offered to join the beds in our existing rooms. We decided that we would not let this bother the 4 us. Keeping this in mind we set out to explore the ship.

On reaching the deck where we had to book for the Gala Dinner or the Captains Dinner as they call it, we were surrounded by staff who were very helpful to us only and if only we were interested in buying the wine or beer vouchers they had to offer. Any other queries from them seemed like a complete waste of their time. And it was not only at this point even in between shows or meals there were a constant persuasion of purchase of these vouchers, which was very annoying.
