Creator's Key Takeaways

Star of the Seas is here and I was on board last week and the first revenue cruises begin well this week as well.

I mean, it is an amazing ship, but it's not an amazing ship because it's totally different.

The free food game is truly fantastic on Star in the Seas.

Overall, I really love it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't buy a dining package; the included dining is very strong.
βœ“Take advantage of the ship's activities, especially the pool deck and swim-up bar.
βœ“If you loved Icon, you'll enjoy Star of the Seas for its similar experience with minor tweaks.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship might be too similar to Icon with no significant changes β€” If you loved Icon, Star offers the same amazing experience with minor tweaks and new shows.
