Technological advancements include a pilot program for facial recognition for keyless stateroom entry. The ship will also feature a new Chief Dog Officer named Sailor and a revamped Surfside neighborhood designed to appeal to a wider range of children. Finally, the creator notes that inaugural fares for Star of the Seas are expected to be significantly lower than those for Icon of the Seas, and the ship will include an additional hot tub that was previously omitted from the first ship due to weight concerns.
