This thread is making me drool on my keyboard. 12 days and counting till I can eat those amazing salads and donuts again.

Thanks everyone for the replies, I'm on the star in 12 days and i'm absorbing all the info I can before we head out.

My mom offered to pay for our trip

I don't think you get to complain about where you're located. 

Want a "better" room pay for your own trip.

I don't think you're gonna get much positive feedback on this thread to be honest.

Different brand, does not transfer over.

Which pool is inside?

I believe its the Calyspo pool, it was a glass roof over top!

Goat cheese souffle, sugared donut at the IC, and the small tartlet key lime are my favorites!

I love the sugared donuts and the parfait! I love going to the IC for breakfast.

Yes.  Hoping I'm not spreading misinformation.  If so, I apologize.  It seemed legit when I read it last.

I know lots of people were quoting the rules of the drink package to him but he did say he talked to the guest services desk and dining manager and they did say it was a soft trial.

His words not mine.

Uh, there has been some discussion that on the Emerald anyway, the person was allowed to share the drink package.. at least those drinks with alcohol, with others.  Not sure how widespread this is or will become.

You referring to the guy on facebook who said he was allowed to share his package with 2 others as long as they did not go over the 15 drink limit and did not order more than one drink at a time?

Does the Star have the Chef's table or wine makers dinner?

On Crown last week they had a different burger available every night on MDR menu and Ernesto was a choice on one of the nights.

When it is in the MDR is there still a surcharge for it?

Apple iMessage only needs “wifi” in able to work not an internet connection.  Being logged onto the ships “intranet” is sufficient.  It will only work apple to apple, not apple to android or other.  

OMG Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that my last couple of cruises. No point in me getting the internet package then.

I was also able to text and send pictures to my family at home thru iMessage with no internet package. 

How?

Also free sauna and steam rooms.

Are these steam rooms and sauna different than the ones for the Thermal Suite?

My sister and bother-in-law are currently on the Sapphire.  They said that it is $199 for one person or $250 for two.  They are on a 14-day cruise and that price is for the entire cruise.  

Thanks for the tip!

Glad to hear your service has been improved!

Wow thanks for all the replies, i'm super hungry now. 57 days to go.

Show me pictures of all your favorite food items from your cruising adventures!

Make sure to include the name of the item.

I still have a leftover BOGO restaurant coupon  from the April cruise.  I think I will just throw it in the trash when I get home tonight since we plan on eating at the buffet all 10 nights on our next cruise in October.  

If you were going to throw yours out, I would be more than grateful if you'd be willing to send it my way. I was planning to do specialty dining that night anyway and my TA doesn't do the coupon books.

Has anyone seen this coupon books and/ or know what they may include?

I've never been given one, but I know someone who did and she said most of it was useless, but the one thing they used was "2 for 1" at the Crown grill which is only redeemable on the first night of the cruise.

I have a list of questions from my earlier thread, and I'll do my best to get answers to each!

I did not see the thread mentioned but i'd love info on the thermal suite!

Hello everyone, I have not used the Lotus Spa before and was planning on doing so for my upcoming Hawaiian cruise.

I was wondering what everyone's favorite spa treatment from Princess specifically. I have been in many spas but curious about what you like.

Also curious about if anyone has ever booked "Couples Arabian Clnse Rtul (50 Min)" can't find much about it at all.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone figured out what smoothies are available and where to get them?

Last I heard is they're only available in the Sanctuary, but would love to hear if anyone has seen them anywhere else.
