Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm taking a 42 day cruise on Star of the Seas.

I'm on standby, which means I have no idea what my room is until it is assigned to me after the ship has already started sailing away.

I have never had this room before. This is such a unique thing for a cruise ship.

I'm feeling very lucky. I cannot believe I got this room.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you're a standby guest, be prepared for uncertainty about your cabin assignment.
βœ“Consider walking the track to stay active while on a cruise.
