Wish upon a STAR class cruise 11/30/19 - 12/7/19

Night one consisted of dinner at the Coastal Kitchen.  @Lovetocruise2002 so far that filet was amazing.  But we have dinner at Chops the last night, so verdict is still out to whether I am team CK or Team Chops.  I have pictures of the filet somewhere but what is below is the Fennel Soup that they serve night 7 that I had special ordered.  Lisa made it happen!!  Escargot, then the pork belly, chocolate cake and creme brûlée’.  I found the creme brûlée just okay, but I am particular since I make them at home.  This is when I made a mistake.  Hubby and I decided we needed a night cap and since Wonderland is right there, we stopped for a drink.  Justin had the smoke rings and I had the one with cotton candy.  I think it was called the Chesire Cat.  Justin’s drink was very strong and it was upsetting to his stomach.  I also got a chocolate martini which was my downfall.  I proceeded to have about 6 more.  So I was officially Chocolately-wasted!  But I did catch the balloon drop!

Add me to not a fan of the Crème Brulee on any of the RCL ships.  I have gotten to the point that I no longer even dare to order it.  I am a snob when it comes to that dessert.  IOWS,  the burnt sugar must crack and the custard must be cold.  Making it too far in advance an you typically don't get that hard crackle, and the custard is usually not cold enough

So Day 2 was not a good day for me since I was severely hungover.  Shame on me.  The day was spent in my room trying to sleep it off.  I went to Izumi for lunch but just couldn’t eat.  The morning consisted of breakfast in our room with a Mimosa and Blood Mary Bar!!  It was fabulous!  The balcony was a little windy so it was made up in our room.  More pictures to follow on that.  Even better, everything was cleaned up and our suite looked amazing.  
 

We spent some time at the Kids Splash Away Bay.  Emily desperately wanted to go on the slide that Axel went on but she wasn’t tall enough.  So they spent some time running around together.  
 

Something that I can appreciate is there were a ton of photographers out and about.  We bought the photo package so we should have a ton of good ones!
 

I was still feeling pretty crappy but I mustered you the strength for the cabin crawl.  I thought there was about 8 rooms including ours, but seriously 30+ people came into our room.  We had some meat planks from Jamie’s delivered so we had some bites to eat.  It was so fantastic to just call Lisa and she took care of it!

This is SO amazing! Quick question.....was there an additional cost for the Bloody Mary/mimosa bar or the food that you ordered for the pub crawl? Or was that all included in the Star Class service?! What an incredible time you’re having!

Good questions!  No additional cost for BM and Mimosa bar or the cabin crawl food.  We also had breakfast delivered to our room and no cost to that.  I know the Queen of Cabin Crawls @WAAAYTOOO can confirm more details on food and beverages if you have any additional questions.

Never thought of a Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar.  What a great idea !

We have never had any problem getting a Cabin Crawl organized through the Genie but it Is worth noting that I have read that some of the Genies are requiring that SC guests pay for this service now.  I haven’t tried to do a cabin crawl in a couple of years (it’s a lot of work as, I’m sure, Queenbeecruises can attest) but some have reported that their Genie has told them that there will be a per-person fee to organize and execute an event such as a Cabin Crawl.
 

My recommendation, for anyone hoping to host such an event, is to NOT mention “Cabin Crawl” at ALL, not mention it at all to the Genie pre-cruise, and simply tell the Genie a day or 2 prior that you need X,Y, Z delivered to the room on such-and-such date and time. I would think that a more spontaneous event, versus a long-planned event, would be less likely to attract the attention of the bean counters (who, I am sure, are responsible for this change, if there has been one).

I couldn’t agree more.  We actually told Lisa about it only a few days prior.  But we also didn’t want everyone to be hanging out forever!  That’s why we decided to not have any beer, although there was plenty in the cooler and fridge.  
 

Lisa actually looked puzzled when I only asked for two meat planks...she wanted to bring more.  So I might have hit the jackpot of genies when it comes to this.

I am so sorry...we got back and am trying to get in the swing of things.  So many people wanted to see pictures of the room so here you go.  I am gather all the food pictures so don’t worry...more to come.  
 

I am horrible at taking photos of the room so please ask any questions.

Don’t mind my graceful little peanut...LOL.  Now behold one of my favorite places.  Truth be told we got a complaint the very first day since my little was running the balcony.  
 

The balcony had a wet bar with two loungers behind it.  The large table also sat 14 people!! The full hot tub was at the other side with another two loungers!!  
 

Heaven...
