Creator's Key Takeaways

This is not just any sailing. This is the first look event where Royal Caribbean has brought on board 200 creators as well as their families to experience everything that Star of the Seas has to offer before they start their inaugural season.

We were lucky enough to be brought by Royal Caribbean and it didn't just start today. They brought us to Puerto Rico 2 days ago.

This is the world's largest cruise ship. There are eight neighborhoods on board.

Highly recommend the Y2K9s night party. So much fun. Such good music. It was a blast.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Press the down arrow in your cabin to cool it down, and ensure the balcony door is closed for AC to work.
Check the Royal Caribbean app for open venues during early boarding.
Use the elevator system by clicking your deck for a quicker ride.
