My hubby and I booked this cruise 18 months before, it was a wonderful trip to plan.
The Star looks great. There are things here and there that she is showing her age but that would only be seen if you were being picky.
There were a few things in our room left from the previous passenger (food in the fridge, coffee in the coffee maker and some part in the shower). These were all remedied quickly once we met our room steward, Mo, who was very attentive throughout the cruise. We like to have ice water on hand so he always made sure a pitcher was full and in our room.
We were upgraded to a mini suite from a regular balcony. We were nicely surprised at the size of the room and the balcony. The bed was very comfortable. The couch was nice for napping and lounging, nice and firm...never opened it up. There is a lounge chair and two standard chairs with a small side table (they out new ones out our cruise) on the balcony. There is a mini fridge (with mini bar that we always have removed). Small coffee/tea set up, flat screen TV and a small safe that fits quite a bit more than it looks (I really like having the safe at eye level thus time most are I the closet and are down lower. There is plenty of storage and our bags fit under the bed. We spent a lot of time in our room this cruise as we were trying to have some down time and were tired from tours. This was a great place! Movement was good on the rough days and half way between the forward and mid ship stairwells put you close to everything. http://youtu.be/eNrFipreIGI
