Creator's Key Takeaways

I mean, it is an amazing ship, but it's not an amazing ship because it's totally different.

The free food game is truly fantastic on Star in the Seas.

Overall, I really love it.

I would say Star of the Seas has everything that Icon has and a little bit more little tweaks and adjustments.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you loved Icon, you will enjoy Star of the Seas as it offers a similar experience with minor tweaks.
✓Take advantage of the included dining options as they are very strong.
✓For first-time Alaska cruisers from the US, choose a Seattle departure on Ovation or Anthem of the Seas.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship might be too similar to Icon with no significant changes — If you loved Icon, Star is about experiencing that again with minor tweaks and new shows.
