Creator's Key Takeaways

I didn't expect to walk away thinking the entertainment might be the best part of the entire cruise.

The Star of the Seas doesn't try to reinvent what the Icon started, and it doesn't have to.

Would we sail the Star of the Seas again? And the answer, without a doubt, yes.

Book through cruises to save money and unlock perks.
Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper and staying in a Surfside suite.
