Creator's Key Takeaways

The service is amazing. Especially Tracy with her allergies. They're they're currently on a hugging relationship at this point.

It's been the most amazing amazing trip and this beautiful sunrise is just icing on the cake.

If you're looking for a wow factor, Star of the Seas has that wow factor because you are gonna say wow all day long.

We had a great great day today. Didn't do too much. I did some filming around the ship. Tracy hung out at the pool for a while.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be careful with the rum punch as it is strong.
If you have allergies, the service team is very accommodating.
Consider the water taxi for excursions as it can be cheaper than a taxi.
