I receive 50 dollars towards an excursion each day we docked at another port. I pre booked excursions...once excursion was completed, 50$ went on my on-board account. I also booked through Cruises Only. There is a 25 $ booking fee, but you get a rebate after your cruise based on what you spent. Got 125$ after my cruise on the getaway in March.

UBP is free, you just pay tips...which I think is fair...I've seen a lot of drunks drinking to excess...bullying the bartenders and leaving nothing. UDP free too. NOT just on The Star... I was on the Getaway and Jewel this last year and a friend was on the Epic. Same deal

You don't have to go always to the Buffet there are great complementary restaurants and I don't know if is because Summer but I paid $2400 for the one on December 2 adults and 2 kids(sail free)... By the way With my friend that is an agent.

Guess it pays to check the ship out and find the nice restaurants! Judging by the typing may have been a language barrier

But why would you have gone to the buffet every night?
