im not too sure how many nights they offer the water show but think it was 2 or 3 times. Sorry for late reply I have been working every day to pay off our cruise lol! I really miss our Royal Genie Alan!

We just got home from our cruise and I can now honestly say I now know why everyone loves to share their experience with Star Class! To sum up our trip all I can say is that we were pleasantly surprised. Our embarkation was a bit delayed. We heard (rumor) that some fool jumped off the ship to avoid being arrested upon arrival in Galveston ! We found our star class agents in the terminal who quickly got us onboard. We had to wait for our cabin to be ready so we had lunch at ck. Our genie Alan was amazing. He was there for everything and we found the whole experience to be stress free. Trust me when I say they take care of everything snd make your journey special. We booked a star loft suite and really appreciated the sheer size of the cabin and balcony. We loved that it had 2 bathrooms. The wifi worked great and we were able to stream all our music via the sound bar that sounded amazing. The food! We dined at central park and Giovanni's twice and once at Chops. The service was excellent all all venues. My favorite meal was the lobster at Chops! We ordered room service for breakfast in our cabin every morning but some of the hot entrees were a bit cold when delivered. We never visited wj so I can't comment about that. The hot dogs and pizza were really good after a night of drinking lol! When they told us we had the UDP I thought how much can one person possibly drink in a day but boy we enjoyed that perk! Starbucks and the smoothies at the vitality spa! The lavender daiquiri was delish! I can't believe how many bars are on that ship. We enjoyed Mamma Mia and the comedy show but found the Blue Planet a bit odd and confusing. Another perk that we used several times was the laundry. I think that this is a very underrated perk. We sent our clothes out a few times and had our shirts pressed. They always delivered our clothes back the next day. A few things we didn't like about our cruise was how crowded the pools and hot tubs were. We enjoyed the suite deck but it was a bit of a pain to have to go down a deck and then back up again. I would have loved a small pool on deck 17! The whole genie experience was wonderful and I enjoyed the front rows seats and drinks as we sat down. Alan was very kind and considerate and I looked forward to seeing his smiling face. The express elevator rides were a big plus too! Im not sure we would book star class again based on the cost but think sky class might be a better fit for us. One tip I would like to share is that we ended up tipping our genie via zelle instead of cash. We only needed cash for tips at bars and our loft attendants and of course the casino lol. We look forward to our next cruise!

Well, we are 2 days away and very excited! Our royal genie Alan has been very helpful in coordinating all our reservations for dinner and shows. The concierge for our friends in sky class are now all booked and aligned with us so that is a big relief. I do have a question about laundry. If I bring several dress shirts and pants will they have them pressed for me and are they included in our fare? My last question which Im embarrassed to ask but I think i read it on this blog before, is the toilet paper that bad?! Lol

Does anyone know if we will be able to stream our spotify in our cabin thru the ships wifi? Should I bring a wireless speaker or can i link to the speakers in the cabin? thanks we are getting so excited!

We are super excited about our upcoming cruise in less than 2 weeks. This is our first time on an oasis ship. After much research we booked a star loft suite. Im hoping we made the right choice. We are a group of 7 and we wanted one room to be big enough to host sail aways and evening cocktails. I was a little nervous about being on such large ship that I think is totally sold out! I am the most excited to meet our royal genie! We live north of Houston so happy we can just drive to the port and no airplanes! Our genie sent us all the info for parking and boarding already. Our friends traveling with us will all be in sky class so Im hoping they can coordinate all of our specialty dining reservations. I don't know when their concierge will reach out to them but I hope they will coordinate with our genie. I am a planner for everything so I know I just need to let the genie do his thing! I really enjoy reading all of your posts which make me feel more at ease. I will do my best to share with you our experience. Wish us luck!
