Creator's Key Takeaways

I got on Star of the Seas in less than 15 minutes.

The production values of this show on board make this the most impressive show I have seen at sea.

It is absolutely Broadway quality.

Crown's Edge is an extra charge, but it was only $10 on boarding day.

Download the Royal Caribbean app after booking to pre-book packages and excursions.
Online check-in opens 45 days before your cruise for smoother embarkation.
Purchase 'The Key' for priority boarding and embarkation day lunch.
Book specialty dining and show reservations well in advance before your cruise.
Pack a swimsuit to ride water slides early and avoid long lines.
