There was an all white and an all red party on different nights. I didn’t attend the white but I did attend the red. It was fun, music could have been better.

I’m guessing you have Sunil. Lol. Horrible precruise communication. He is absolutely amazing on board though.

A M A Z I N G i could not be happier with Sunils performance so far.

I have. Every day. The emails I have received from him have never been to spam.

We are 6 days out and he has planned nothing. Or at lease hasn’t communicated those plans or asked us any questions or confirmed any requests except for one for me.

I have Sunil as my royal genie next week October 12 sailing. His pre-cruise communications are almost non-existent so don’t expect to get much planned with him before boarding. I’ll let you know how he is when we board.

We are going to keep our “delicates and personal items” in a small carry on and only have them unpack our main clothes that will be hung up in the wardrobe.

Got to take advantage of the benefits of a $23,000 cruise lol

Got confirmation from Sunil (our royal genie in October 12 sailing) it can be arranged. We are going to have them unpack for us while we get massages!

@WAAAYTOOO

Anyone know if the royal genie can arrange to have our bags unpacked and organized. I know this is more of a typical butler service and the genies are less of a butler and more of a planner. Just curious if anyone has used them for this or heard of them doing this.

I’m just wondering if getting a massage on embarkation day is a bad idea. There’s an opening for 2:30PM I know a lot of people have said that star class is hectic day one so would this be a nice escape? @WAAAYTOOO what are your thoughts?

From everyone’s experience, how quickly do the Royal genies typically get back to you precruise?

I told the organizer what class I am in. He just hasn’t got back to me at all ?? Maybe I’ll post it in the main thread.

9 people on this list plus the organizer and myself so 11 so far.

There is a cabin crawl started for our sailing. I reached out to the organizer on cruise critic but no luck yet! I don’t see any times or dates just yet. There is only a thread where people are showing interest to the organizer in participating. Hopefully he gets in touch soon! I also let my royal genie know that we are interested in hosting a party during a cabin crawl.

We got contacted by our Royal Genie Sunil today. I am going to reach out to him about us possibly participating in a cabin crawl. Any advice for a cabin crawl party in a star class suite? I am attaching a photo of his initial correspondence.

Just wondering if anyone knows if they have removed the thermal suite pass as one of the benefits of star class?

I guess her sister is getting a show, lol jk

Yes, there is a privacy curtain to separate the upper floor bedroom from the rest of the space!

Yes I could not believe it when I saw it; very excited.

ahhhhhhh thought you were referring to the lack of privacy on the balcony on the other star loft! But yes, that is the one drawback but at least there is a curtain lol

the cabin is the one that is on the side of the ship not the one that faces the back of the ship.

I think I will enjoy this room way more, and for such a change in the upgrade cost I couldn't say no!

and the plot thickens...... Today, for fun, I decided to take a look at what was available for suites on our sailing. I noticed that the Star Loft Suite 1722 (the one we were originally booked before changing to aquatheare) had plummeted by $3500! It now only costed 400 more per person (3 of us going) to upgrade and this seemed like a no brainer, so now we are going to the highly coveted 17th floor! so so so excited!!! Will keep everyone in the loop once we get a little closer. We have booked a suite in the 1 Hotel South Beach for 3 nights prior to sailing!
