Creator's Key Takeaways

Star of the Seas has 2,85 staterooms, which can hold 5,610 guests at double occupancy, but the actual capacity of the ship is much closer to 7,000 because most rooms hold more than two people.

I honestly I thought it was one of the coolest Aqua Theater shows that we've seen on any Royal Caribbean ship. I thought it was better than the show on Icon of the Seas.

The boarding process was seamless. We arrived at around 11:00 a.m. And the first thing that you will do is drop off your bags with the porters, and then you will go through security.

We're pretty much on right away. As we're getting on the ship, here's a few facts about Star of the Seas.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Download the Royal Caribbean app prior to your cruise to check in, book shows, and make reservations.
βœ“Purchase excursions and drink packages prior to boarding the ship as they are almost always cheaper.
βœ“Make reservations for all shows and events a month prior to your sailing to ensure you get your preferred day and time.
βœ“Check out the spa open house on embarkation day for a personalized tour and potential better deals.

What is a muster drill? β€” It's a safety drill you have to do before the ship can set sail. Watch the videos in the Royal Caribbean app beforehand to be better prepared.
How to get on the ship quickly? β€” Check in 45 days prior to select a boarding time. The sooner you check in, the sooner available boarding time you may get.
