Creator's Key Takeaways

Our cabin steward in particular was incredible. Creating towel animals, leaving tasty treats, and even went to the trouble of decorating our cabin to celebrate Yaan's birthday, even though I didn't ask them.

I'd say it's the best food I've ever had in the main dining room of a ship.

The ports are very much the destination with this ship.

I'd highly recommend Star Legend, and I hope I can sail on Star Legend or one of Winstar's other ships in the not tooistant future.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Spend time on Star Legend's bow for forward-facing views
Try all the dining options on board as they are included
Seek out the yacht club and its observation deck for relaxation
Adjust entertainment expectations as ports are the main focus

YouTube Video Description

ad • Join me as I share some Hints and Tips for a cruise on Windstar's Star Legend! In this video I'll tell you some things to look out for onboard as well as highlighting why a cruise on Windstar is quite different to that of a mainstream cruise line. Although this video was recorded on Star Legend, it is relevant for those travelling on Star Pride and Star Breeze. Recorded in January 2024. As this is a gifted trip, you will see a 'paid promotion' flag on this video but that does not mean I've been paid to portray Windstar in a particular way. Instead, you'll get my usual honest opinion about what I loved, and what could be improved. Thank you to Windstar Cruises for gifting me this incredible trip!
