Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on Star of the Seas for over 10 days to research exactly what's new, different, and exactly the same.

What I found out is that the two ships are far more similar than they are different.

I think Back to the Future may be a superior show because it's a true Broadway show and certainly has more production value to it.

I tried both. I think I prefer the Aquedome Market on Star in the Seas.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book your cruise as far in advance as you can to get the best possible price.
βœ“Consider which home port is easier or cheaper for you to get to: Miami or Port Canaveral.
βœ“If prices are similar, choose based on which ship's entertainment or dining you prefer.

Royal Caribbean launched Star of the Seas and now you're probably wondering which ship you should go on first. I've spent weeks on both Icon of the Seas and Star, and it may not be so obvious which one is the best choice to book.
