Star Princess Cruise Ship 2026 | Our Honest Full Review | The Good, Bad & Ugly
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a comprehensive review of the Star Princess, Princess Cruises' newest and largest ship, following an inaugural North American voyage. The review is categorized into good, bad, and ugly experiences. Positive highlights include spacious deluxe balcony staterooms with comfortable beds, exceptional service via the Ocean Now app, and high quality dining options ranging from specialty steakhouses to Alfredo's Pizzeria. The creator also praises the ship's extensive glass architecture for ocean views and the high caliber of live musical talent. Negative aspects include a frustrating motion-activated bathroom light, small seating capacities in the arena and the Ali's Irish pub, and slow drink service during busy periods. The most significant issue, described as the ugly, is the lack of seating in the dome for candlelight concerts, which fails to accommodate the large number of passengers on board. Despite these logistical challenges, the creator concludes that the ship is an exciting new addition to the industry and expresses a desire to sail on it again, particularly recommending it for food enthusiasts and those seeking beautiful ocean views.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I just took a cruise on Princess Cruis's brand new cruise ship, the Star Princess, and this is the good, bad, and ugly.
I loved my stateateroom. It was spacious. It felt well laid out. There was plenty of storage.
The non-smoking casino is small. However, I think that it is great that they have put one on board.
I actually did not have a bad meal while on board. Everything I ate was great.
