Creator's Key Takeaways

I have to agree. We got to go get those crepes. On Star, the crepes don't close until 12:00 or 1:00 a.m. But, uh, Icon, I think they finish up with the crepes at 10:00.

The best one is on Star. Then we need to get back on Star January.

It's really convenient being on deck four and three.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask staff for chips if they are not displayed in Central Park.
Book tours early in St. Thomas as port time is short.
