Creator's Key Takeaways

Once on board we have to grab our boarding day Miami Vice, this time we choose the Lime & Coconut.

The first positive, what was the first positive today? What's the first thing you can think of? Sweet imbarcation.

The negatives, the first negative is they recently downgraded this room from the I think it's sky class category to C-class category.

YouTube Video Description↓

We are excited to be back on board Royal Caribbean and on a huge ship, Star of the Seas! This trip is going to be just Schooner dad and the two little gremlins. We are sailing from Port Canaveral for seven days in the eastern Caribbean. Once again, we are just blown away by how massive the Icon class ships are. On board we have to grab our boarding day Miami Vice, this time we choose the Lime & Coconut. We grab our traditional boarding day lunch at Giovanni's Italian Kitchen. We won our upgrade bid to a "suite," but its a somewhat controversial room, so lets check out the Surfside Family Suite and decide if it's worth it. We grab dinner in Coastal Kitchen, and end the night having a blast the balloon drop.
