| 525.1 | Any comments on the Star Princess? | SALEM::CORMIER_J | | Mon Apr 24 1995 16:22 | 16 |
| My husband, sister and her husband are going to put our down-payment
on the Star Princess for next year. We received so many brochures
from the travel agent and we had quite a time deciding on whether to
take the Princess cruise or the Royal Caribean one. The deciding
factor was that the Princess has larger rooms (RC had 4 drawers & a
hanging space). This is our 1st cruise and though so many people had
said that the room did not mean all that much - it did make a deciding
difference. The difference in price was less than $100 - we went for
the gusto.
Has anyone else been on the Star - and if so, can you tell me something
about your experiences?
Thanks!
Jean

| I think you made a great choice!!
The Star is our favorite ship. We have sailed on NCL, RCCL and
Princess, and this ship (our first ;-)) remains our favorite. We did
the Southern Caribbean in November and found that the old girl has aged
extremely well.
The ship has an incredible amount of deck space and we never had
trouble finding deck chairs near the pool, in either sun or shade. On
the Sovereign of the Seas especially, the area around the pools is
alway packed in like sardines. Embarkation and disembarkation move
quickly and smoothly, shore excursion and tendering move along with
almost no waiting in lines.
If you have any specific questions, give me a call.

My husband and I were on the Star Princess last Dec. and just loved it.
We left from San Juan and cruised to the Southern Carb. The food was
excellent and the shows we went to were enjoyable. We had an Outside Cabin
on the Fiesta Deck and just loved it. The cabin was quite large - about
140 sq feet, equipped with a safe, refrid. and queen size bed. There was
fresh fruit brought in everyday and our bed turned down at night with a mint
on the pillow every night. We made alot of good friends and I guess we were
spoiled with the Star. We are looking into another cruise for this coming
Dec. but haven't booked anything yet. Have a great time - we did.

| 525.6 | we are finally going! | SALEM::CORMIER_J | | Wed Apr 26 1995 16:38 | 18 |
| Thank you to everyone. We put our downpayment last night - now we
only have 50.5 weeks 'til we go. We are leaving from Ft. Lauderdale
and taking the advice of some of the noters, have made arrangements
to fly down the day before and stay at one of their hotels. This
promises to be a vacation to remember.
You are right on about different people liking different things,
when we went to Disneyworld, some people advised us to stay away
from Epcot - it was boring, etc. It is our favorite! Someday
we will go again and try the new Studio ??? they have opened in
the last couple of years.
Again - thanks for all the advice. You have been a great help!
I read the notes at lunch and print them out for my husband -
he doesn't have an account (he *is* an employee).
Best regards,
Jean & Ken
