Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean has got the best customer service of any cruise line.

This sail away party was better than the last three sailways on the last three carnival ships we went on in my opinion.

The chicken was good. Potatoes were good. Salad was good. Cheesecake was good. Everything five out of five.

I would definitely eat this again. So, I'm going to give this four sugars.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make reservations for the North Star as soon as you get on the ship to ensure availability.
If you want to do the North Star over the ocean, you have to pay for it; it's free during port days.
