This Flagship Might Have a Problem: We Sail the Star Princess

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a week-long voyage aboard the Star Princess, a new sphere class vessel from Princess Cruise Lines. The video provides a behind-the-scenes look at life on the ship, covering various amenities including the oversized central atrium, the Lido pool areas, and the unique glass dome. The creators explore different dining experiences, ranging from the main dining room and the buffet to specialty restaurants like Love by Britto and Catch by Rudy. They also detail their excursions in Mediterranean ports such as Malaga and Cartagena, highlighting local tapas and historical sites like the Roman amphitheater. A significant portion of the video addresses cabin selection, as the creators moved from a noisy cove balcony near the central atrium to a quieter location on a higher deck. The creators conclude by weighing the pros and cons of the ship, noting that while the amenities and service are high quality, the ship's modern, high-energy atmosphere and loud central hub may not suit traditionalists seeking a quiet cruise experience.

Creator's Key Takeaways
We'll show you behind the scenes how it went for us and what you could expect.
We were really keen to find out if this new vision for Princess has worked.
The dome is a real showstopper. It's atmospheric. It's pretty and almost unique as a facility at sea.
Our suggestion is pick a cabin far away from the central patza, the central atrium.
