Thank you for your post. Do you happen to have any photos to share?  You can post here or send privately to my email (see link in signature).

Here are 2 showing the balcony.  Only downside to the room is the balcony depth.

My wife and I have stayed in suite 10000.  Great room, super quiet, as you do not have any other rooms that share your walls.  Probably the best bathroom of all the suites.  Shower can easily hold 2 people and from the bath tub you you have a view off the bow of the ship.  The forward facing deck affords great views, but it is not very deep.  Lounge chairs have to be at an angle to fit. Getting in and out of the hot tub can be a bit tight..

brookie848, I was able to trade for Captain Morgan on my last NCL cruise.

I think that sometimes they just make pricing mistakes.  A couple of months back I booked an Owners suite (SB) with 2 balconies on the Star for April 2019 at $2099 per person.  The only suite that was less expensive was the family suite (SJ) at $1899 per person.  Normally on the Star only the Garden Villa would cost more than than an SB.  

I just looked at it as an opportunity 

I changed my room booking through my TA and the Shareholder credit did not transfer. Called Princess directly and they fixed it immediately.

Pride Of America - Aloha Lanai Bar, great view from the aft

Pearl - Maltings Beer and Whiskey Bar - Nice selection of premium whiskey not available at any other bar

Just got off the Epic and LOVED the memory foam pillow I had in our 2 bedroom suite. It was softer than any other memory foam pillow I've used in the past, but still quite supportive of my neck. Anyone happen to know the brand and/or where I can buy one?

 

TIA!

Try blissbedcollection dot com It is the Norwegian site where they sell their bedding.

They will provide you a list from which you select 3 bottles.

You receive 3 bottles of wine, no hard alcohol.

Butler's do not deliver breakfast or lunch from Cagneys' - but will deliver just about anything else.

If I recall correctly, everything else is the same as the rest of the fleet.

Confirming that Pearl is purple.

Just got off the Pearl yesterday - We did receive a letter on board canceling all excursions involving ferries. They also advised that you avoided utilizing ferry service while ashore. No other excursions were impacted.

Can someone please tell me where the spreadsheet is located in the thread?

When we were at the Aston in April, they had an NCL desk setup in the lobby area.

We were transported from the Aston to the pier. Our luggage was picked up separately.

NCL put us in the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel in April this year.

What’s the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

There is a review on Cruise Critic for the same cabin on the Dawn. The ship layout is the same. Reviewer stated they had concerns about noise but it turned out to be very quiet. Search the reviews for more detail.

Was on this cruise in April and had a great time, and except for one cocktail waitress, the service from the crew was excellent.

We cruised POA in one of the forward owners suites in April/May 2017 and had wonderful service from our butler. She told us to just write anything we wanted on our room service card and she would do her best to accommodate. We never requested anything unusual, but she always delivered to our request. She actually seemed disappointed that we did not request more from her, and she regularly reminded us to call her for anything we wanted. At the end of our cruise she told us that if we ever cruise POA again to please request her as our butler. Was not previously aware that it was an option. Her name was Susanna.

You can relax. You are booked in a full SE suite. You will not be moved at the pier.

Have a great cruise!

For our cruise in late April it went by the volcano. It should go by the volcano anytime that the lava is flowing.

You could tour the Maui Brewing company brewery in Kihei or tour the Ocean Vodka distillery in Kula

Both are worthwhile

I have booked my last 2 cruises with NCL and have not had a PCC assigned.

It is not open for lunch, only during dinner hours. You can make reservations once on board the ship.

Susanna on Pride of America - super responsive to all of our requests
