What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

The highlight tonight was definitely the production show in the main theater, which was called Main Stage.

The dome is one of Star Princess's signature wow spaces. It's modern, tech-forward, and very different from the classic cruise ship pool or solarium areas.

If you want to enjoy one of the best Irish pubs at sea, this is likely the one for you.

It just all really works here at Ali's.

This has been a fantastic week.

The Watch-outs

there is typhoon Shen Shen is going to make landfall in Japan on Tuesday resulting in two of our ports Kobe and Koshi not being able to get to

the buffet was undeniably the worst we've ever had

we've never seen um that type of a situation uh when it comes to the especially the early part of disembarkation

The whole system was just not very organized. So, we ended up waiting a little longer than what we probably should have.

it was a 25 minute process essentially just being moved around to different lines nobody seemed quite sure how it all worked

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for On a Cruise with Wil and Stephen.

  1. Watch the safety video ahead of time to save time during embarkation.

  2. Be aware that opening the infinite veranda door may turn off the air conditioning.

  3. Bring your own detergent and dryer sheets if you anticipate doing laundry on board.

  4. Book spa treatments before you board for the best prices.

  5. Arrive early for Piazza events or theater shows to secure preferred seating.

  6. Get to the Piazza early if you want a good seat for events due to sight line issues.

  7. Get the bulk of your packing done early on the final day to enjoy the ship.

  8. Use the Medallion technology to order food and drink to your location anywhere on the ship.
