Slight recap to last night.
My initial opinion of the ship is wow!  The hideaway area is a game changer in my opinion. We hung out there for about 4 hours yesterday, both in the pool and at the bar.  The vibe is unlike anything I’ve experienced on a cruise ship before.  We still have a LOT to explore, we walked around most places, but never even made it to Central Park.
The Aquadome and overlook are stunning!
We had the headliner show at 7:15 it was a juggler named Adam Kario.  Kelli got to go up on stage and be his assistant while I provided comic relief for him 😂.  There may be video 😎In the end it was a lot of fun!
We did make it to Coastal Kitchen for dinner at 8:30, but only managed one picture as I was feeling no pain by that point lol.

We got back to the room and had a surprise waiting for us telling us about a special event this morning.

We are beyond excited as we are dog lovers!
Now just relaxing waiting on Starbucks to arrive.

Should be a fun see day!

Following along.  I have the same room booked in June 🎉

Final day ...*tears*...  today is Perfect Day at Coco Cay.  I actually really enjoyed this location with all of the new renovations.  I mean besides the fact that it was ridiculously hot (and I’m from Miami but it was a scorcher).  Ate breakfast, then made our way off the ship to the pool bar and stat there for a bit.  Enjoyed a couple drinks, then went over and watched a few volley ball tournaments, (my younger brother played in a few).  Ended our time on the island, at the beach portion, where we saw a Manta Ray.  That was pretty cool.  We then headed over to the Oasis pool to close out.  The island overall is absolutely beautiful, next time, I want to make sure we hit the thrill park.  Back on the ship, tonight they had the Hall and Oates Concert and they did fireworks from Coco Cay for the birthday celebration.  Didn’t really want to go to CK for dinner, so I ordered Chops to the room instead... last couple figures are the last photos of the room and then pictures from debarkation day..... back to reality ...it was fun while it lasted..... well until June,....countdown for the next star class cruise (June 2020 Ovation and December 2020 Odyssey)

Once we arrived at the waiting area, they told us that Sunil had just took another family up and would be back shortly, (We weren’t in a rush and truthfully we made it through security faster than I even thought possibly anyway so, I had nothing but time).
Sunil arrives, and after a brief conversation, we are off and on headed on the ship (our bags right next to us with the porter), get to the elevator (he uses his “magic key”) no waiting or stopping to get to deck 17!  (Too bad i cant get one of these the entire cruise ?)
Made it upstairs to the suite.... and OMG!  I’m blown away! 
 

Day 5 of the cruise, started a little different, decided to go down to Windjammer, just to try something different, since CK menu remains the same everyday. Not too bad, also met my other family that was on board there, so that was also a plus. Today was Puerto Rico day, we actually arrived into port earlier, so wanted to try and get off early if we could since we had to be back by 330pm.  So once we made it off the ship, PR is absolutely beautiful only wish we had more time to really explore the city.  Took a quick tour of a couple sights, it was blazing hot outside.... made sure to stop and get some mofongo from one of the local restaurants.  Once we made it back to the ship, today was to be the sail away on the helipad, too bad mid way through it started raining.   (Started off as light rain, so I didn’t really mind, however as it progressively got worse, that was a no go). Tonight’s dinner was at Izumi, met some great people at the table with us, also from Miami, (One couple celebrating their 40 year anniversary....Laugh of the night was the lady said at the start of the meal no salt on anything for her as it took her 8 different pairs of shoes to find one that fit today...enjoyed a laugh about that at Coco Cay as well). Overall the meal was just ok for me.  
 
From dinner, we went to Flight, which is amazing.  If you are on symphony you have to see this show.  Quite a few people missed it because it was only shown for two days, but the night we saw it (first show) the entire theater was filled.
Final thing for the night was the crazy quest game show.  Hilarious time.  Definitely a must.  Overall a very busy day and long day, but definitely a great day!!
 
PS on Crazy Quest we were team 5 (check the video for the guy we dressed lol)

Ok so I’m back home, so let me catch up the rest of the way thru the cruise.  Day 4 was St.Maarten.  Started off the day as with most days in CK, then went back grabbed my book bag and we were off.  Island was beautiful, found a guide that offered a tour of the entire city (Dutch Side and a French side) for $10/person, so seemed like a pretty good deal.  We did 5r tour which took about 3 hrs, then headed back, had to stop and pick up a couple “duty free items” lol.  Finally back on the ship, showered and relaxes a bit then off to dinner at Jamie’s (sorry didn’t remember pictures)
to end the evening we saw Hiro, excellent show, very entertaining.

What a SC HOG !!
????

@WAAAYTOOO, there goes another one...?

Final night on board.  I will update the last couple days once I make it back home.  Unfortunately tonight I have to do that dreaded task again and pack bags ??..... This was an excellent cruise, great experience, so much fun.  Can’t wait until the next......Star class from now on. One additional thing, Sunil is leaving 12/14 for anyone that is cruising symphony after that....
i will update on the other days and perfect day at cocoa tomorrow.  

Our Genie preferred to use Facebook messenger or email.  Since we had free VOOM it was never an issue for us to shoot off an email outlining a breakfast order for the next morning or shoot her a quick Facebook message letting her know we were on the way to the theater, etc.  You can establish the best way to communicate with your Genie that works for your party and the Genie.

I used the app.  It has all the menus there. But I did send Sunil a message with what we wanted and he had it delivered.  I had the same luck as you, I tried calling and I never got thru, or it was more hassle than I wanted to deal with so I just asked Sunil and he took care of it for me.

Day 3 (At Sea Day 2), so today started with an actual plan of things to do, even at sea. First things first... breakfast at CK.... very good as Always, followed by a private bridge tour for the 3 of the Star Class Rooms (total of 9 people on the tour), was amazing to see the amount of technology that goes into guiding this ship.  That was exciting.  From there, proceeded to go back to the room really quickly to drop some things off, not before Sunil asked that we give him things to do.  So to oblige, I asked for lunch from Izumi and then seats at the aqua nation show (point of humor, I sent Sunil a message about the show, and he agreed to get us the seats, then when I let him know we were on the way down, he thought I was talking about later in the cruise.  Come to find out, none of the genies knew about the Aqua Nation show today,  but I sent him a picture of the cruise compass, and he said he had to run over to get seats because it didn’t show on their cruise compass). Either way, #SuperGenieSunil made it happen and we had seats right in the middle.... only bad part was the sun was blazing!!! (Definitely received an unwanted tan)
From aqua nation, we proceeded to do more exploring, went down ultimate abyss a couple times, picked up a shake from Johnny rockets, then came back to the room to watch a dodgeball game they were having on the sports court....
my favorite part of the the night and my cruise so far.... We went to Chops Grille for dinner..... and I must say it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.... everything I had.... EXCEPTIONAL!!!! I must say, to anyone on any RCCL ship that has Chops.... for dinner you will not be disappointed.  The Black pepper bacon.... “Heavenly”..... Lamb, wonderful.....red velvet cake.... OH MY and all concluded with a cappuccino and the waiter we had made it even better!!!
So far that’s its for tonight.... still early with a lot of things that I can do..... off to find something to get myself into, lol!

Ok.... so Day 2 was interesting..... pretty much a relaxing day.  Explored the ship here and there, I asked Sunil about the escape room and he reserved us a private session..... (We Made It Out!!). From there, we took it easy and enjoyed the ship, around 7pm we went to dinner at Wonderland. all I can say.... #NotAFan and I’ll leave it at that.... 
After Dinner we met up with Sunil and he had seats for us at 1977, another great show.  (Ps we have definitely been taking advantage of the Starbucks inclusion on board.) I’m really enjoying this Star Class Life!  

After the show, to try and make up for wonderland, I ordered Playmakers to the room..... and that pretty much summed up the night

PS, for anyone wondering as I was if there is a second minibar upstairs, the answer is yes

New version from May

Really wish the new Playmakers menu would go fleet wide. Loved those buffalo chicken egg rolls.

+1 !

I'm so not totally jealous of @SuperNinja at all. Totally fine not being there.
