Creator's Key Takeaways

I really did. And then Honey said today he wanted to do the Crown's Edge, so he did it.

I had an accessible Surfside family suite. I mean for Surfside family balcony.

I think they did an amazing job with design for the ship, but on the outside of the ship, but I think that they slacked off on the room design.

I'm really glad that you guys had the opportunity to get on Star.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Request evening cleaning for your stateroom.
Let your stateroom attendant know if the bed is not firm enough and request extra padding or blankets.
Get to the Aqua Theater show early to secure a good seat.
Consider using the casino program to get discounts on future cruises.
