it's a brand new ship class and they built absolute zero the way they did where they did. It's it's a struggle for me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't book yourself on the fourth floor if you can help it due to running track noise.

Pros and Cons of Star of the Seas Royal Caribbean Head to https://spotandtango.yt.link/ohJBV6H and use my code JOSH60 Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas is a massive, highly-rated Icon-class cruise ship. Weighing over 248,000 gross tons and holding up to 7,600 passengers, she features eight distinct neighborhoods, Category 6 waterpark, and a Back to the Future musical. Primary drawbacks include high premium pricing and potential crowds at major entertainment venues. The Pros of Sailing on Star of the Seas Unmatched Entertainment: Features the spectacular Broadway-style Back to the Future musical in the main theater and the high-flying Torque aqua show in the AquaDome. Exceptional Dining Options: In addition to classic Main Dining Rooms and popular specialty spots, the ship features the AquaDome Market, an elevated complimentary food hall featuring Southeast Asian, barbecue, and South American stalls. Family-Focused Design: Perfect for families with kids of all ages, offering dedicated spaces like the Surfside neighborhood, the Category 6 waterpark (the largest at sea), and innovative family staterooms. Neighborhood Concept: Despite its massive size, the eight-neighborhood layout is highly praised for spreading out crowds, making the ship feel less congested. The Cons of Sailing on Star of the Seas Premium Price Point: As one of the newest and most popular vessels at sea, booking a cruise on Star of the Seas is noticeably more expensive than older or smaller ships. Venue Capacity Issues: Because there are so many onboard activities and shows, popular events (such as the dueling pianos) can fill up fast, requiring early arrivals or standing-room-only. Heavy Focus on Families: For adults, solo travelers, or couples seeking a quiet, intimate getaway, the intense family-friendly energy and noise in communal zones may become overwhelming outside of adult-only designated areas like The Hideaway Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiegjTswMDjMkuAIsLNFAA/join Looking for any products that we use regularly during our travels and videos?
