Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm about to show you if Star of the Seas, a $2 billion floating city, actually lives up to the hype.

I think this room felt the largest of any balcony I've ever stayed in.

Torque is a high energy aqua show that can only be found on Star.

This is without a doubt the benchmark for all mainline cruise operators to shoot for moving forward.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Scan the QR code or click the link in the video description to browse for dates and pricing for your own cruise on Star of the Seas.
Wait in the line by the Ryan Bean Bar for standby access to the Aqua Theater show, as it's a shorter line.
Check out a towel on the island when visiting Coco K to avoid carrying one from the ship.
Consider getting a travel safe that clips securely to prevent theft of personal items.

YouTube Video Description

Star of the Seas christening invite? Count me in — this is Royal Caribbean’s brand-new $2 BILLION mega-ship, the largest cruise ship in the world. In this video I’ll take you inside the exclusive naming ceremony, tour my balcony cabin, hit the AquaDome shows, and show you what it’s really like when Star and Icon of the Seas both dock at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Over three jam-packed days I tried it all: bar crawls at The Hideaway and Basecamp, late-night crêpes, dueling pianos, lobster tail in the main dining room, and more. You’ll see Royal Caribbean’s newest entertainment like the AquaTheater’s Torque, the SOL ice show at Absolute Zero, and even a Back to the Future musical complete with a flying DeLorean. And of course — CocoCay. With two Icon-class ships and 15,000 passengers on the island, I’ll show you how it handled the crowds, plus give you a first look at the brand-new Hideaway Beach. So… does Star of the Seas live up to the hype? Watch now to find out what blew me away, what surprised me, and where your next cruise should be. ⛴️ Want to book Star of the Seas? 👉 https://bit.ly/3HYhdZB 0:00 Intro 0:49 Boarding Star of the Seas 1:53 Bar Crawl with EECC 3:15 My Balcony Cabin Tour 4:35 Exclusive Christening Ceremony 7:00 Dining & Bar Crawl Highlights 11:10 AquaDome & Entertainment Shows 13:43 Perfect Day at CocoCay (with Icon) 17:42 Shows & Thoughts about Star of the Seas #StaroftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseVlog #CocoCay #MegaShip https://www.MidshipsCruise.com 🎉 Join the Channel Crew! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClusU3pkErky4Yvb3JGuRxA/join 🛒 Cruise Essentials on Amazon 👉 https://www.amazon.com/shop/midships 👕 Official Midships Merch 👉 https://www.bonfire.com/store/midships/ 📸 Follow on Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/midshipscruise 👥 Join the Facebook Cruise Crew 👉 https://facebook.com/midships 🛳 ABOUT MIDSHIPS Midships is your source for cruise news, ship reviews, tips, and cruise travel drama.
