Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been on Celebrity, been on Virgin, been on Norwegian. This I think is honestly the best.

It's really the little touches at Royal Caribbean that make us come back and back and back and back again.

The issue we have with Star of the Seas is there's simply too much to do.

We had a great time and we can't recommend Star of the Seas enough.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Relieve the pressure to do everything as soon as you step on board.
Make the vacation your own and try things you normally wouldn't.

Star of the Seas doesn’t feel off because it’s bad — it feels off because there is simply too much to do. In this full Star of the Seas walkthrough, we explore why this Icon Class ship can unintentionally create pressure to “do everything,” and why that mindset can actually hurt your cruise experience. If you step off Star of the Seas feeling like you missed out, this video explains why that’s normal — and why you shouldn’t beat yourself up over it.
