Lol, no, us poors can’t be bothered with what the elite are doing… The genie guarding the seats dealt with it. I mostly only heard “but we’re in a suite!”

Hmm, that sounds borderline shenanigans to me! But inquiring minds want to know ... who had to tell them 2-3x? Please say you!
 
Edit: nevermind! That's what i get for engaging before reading the whole thread! @WAAAYTOOO knows what's what!

Not at all!!!

We sure did ..... and they were delicious.  This is not helping with the cruise withdrawal we are going through now is it?

Pulling into crown bay on st Thomas was fascinating. Wonder turns on a dime. 

That's just nuts! I mean, normal class size for me is about 28 kids, but I teach 13 year olds. 28 little ones, crazy!
Sadly, that is the general consensus among the star class cruisers group.

It's a very fine line, right? 
I follow a DCL concierge only guy as he is so interesting, not only his experiences but even his home that he shares gorgeous photos of. He ONLY sailed the most expensive suites on DCL every ship all the time. The new DCL itineraries just came out for 2025 and he reported first time ever he wasn't booking DCL he was booking the ICON. I almost fell out of my chair. I was like wow, Congratulations Royal you are hitting your goal, But..
Royals goal of pulling away from DCL is working beyond their wildest imagination I'm sure, BUT they need to be careful of alienating the rest of us. I always felt Royal was an amazing product for the price. 
This morning I was looking at NCL... just saying. Just looking, but still.... 
I don't begrudge RC making money by any means, but my last experience I felt changes that I didn't exactly love. Oh well, I'll have to keep testing one sailing at a time. 
 
 

For some of these prices on suites you could charter a private yacht or private jet to Europe for a vacation. They’re getting dangerously close to jumping the  shark with what’s a reasonable fare. 

Pass. All those Ultimate Townhouse, Ultimate Family suites give me recess vibes big time! I don't go on vacation to feel like I am at a pre-school or kindergarten classroom lol

I think we saw 80-100K at one point. My FIL wouldn’t go for it though. Not sure if it was the money or sharing one suite with the fam though. 🤣

Which one of you ballers booked ultimate family townhouse on Star for 180k? Per suite concierge, that’s what it’s going for.  I took a pass this time 😜

Can’t wait to try Mason Jar; everything looks so yummy.  

St. Thomas today but we don’t dock til like 12:30 so we’re staying on the ship, chilling in the Solarium, playing some trivia, & I need to catch up on my lack of ELF so far. 🌮 CocoCay on day 2 and then stuffing myself at Mason Jar yesterday kinda took up the food intake. I’ll make up for it on the back half other than being on a long excursion tomorrow in St. Martin.

CL shenanigans with the breakfast offerings. No chocolate croissants for my wife again… which is why I got her 3 the other day just in case (to keep some in the cabin). Also none of those custard danishes with the fruit this morning. No big deal, just sharing.
Best CL in the fleet for coffee. They have two machines so one breaking isn’t an issue & love that you can make a double cappuccino that fills the whole cup.

Haven’t been getting up crazy early so didn’t make my usual 6:30am Park Cafe run for either a McMuffin or bagel. Just grabbed a bagel & lox in the CL. They’re better freshly toasted at Park Cafe but oh well. I’m sure I’ll have an actual breakfast later after wife is done walking 5 miles.

 

Haha, I just commented how much I am looking forward to trying Mason Jar. Everything looks so yummy!

Who are you and what have you done to @Lovetocruise2002?

Me too. It’s currently sunny and 17 and winter returns tomorrow. Ugh
