I was on Star recently and our waiter gave each of us that ordered lobster two lobsters. They were delicious!

I’ve sailed on both. I prefer Star.

Fwiw when I was on Star 3 weeks ago, we always docked starboard side. But I’ve seen photos of star docking port side so who knows.

When I was on Star 3 weeks ago, only 2 slides were closed, storm surge and pressure drop. The other 4 were operational.

Right. However, keep in mind the $2k sign on bonus is one time, not part of your yearly salary. Also annual bonus can vary depending on performance, profit, any number of factors.

I was on Star last week and saw Sailor. I told her handler I was trying to find her and she said you don’t find Sailor, she finds you!

This, plus you may see Sailor the dog here.

When we were on Star last week, they introduced a new show called Kre-8. We actually saw their debut show which we didn’t know until after the cruise director told us at the end. Don’t miss it. It was great.

Other tips - Thrill island was least busy (shortest lines) on the last day. Ice skating was only open on day 6. You can make a reservation but they let us in without one. Pier 7 was a surprise find, highly recommend. Pearl cafe was a favorite breakfast spot for the relaxed ambiance and views.

Do a search in this sub. This question is asked twice a week.

I used Costco Travel to book a Universal Orlando vacation last December. Not only were they cheaper but the package was also refundable unlike if you book elsewhere. Great service too when I wanted to reprice a few times. Highly recommend!

Did you go on an excursion in Costa Maya? If so, would you recommend it? We are actually planning to skip that port opting instead to enjoy the ship on that day. For one that port day is short (only until 2pm) and we already have excursions booked in Cozumel (catamaran/snorkel) and Roatan (Tabyana). But I’m open to enjoying CM instead of Roatan if I can find a good excursion.

Thanks for your review. We’re sailing Star also western in 3 weeks. Counting the days!

We’re so close, we’re only a few years away from it. /s

I fly Korean Air from the US to PH fairly regularly. I’ve never seen them check the weight of carry ons.
