Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent 10 days aboard Star of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, and discovered why this massive vessel is redefining family cruising!

Now, Heidi and I have been on almost 100 cruises with 15 different cruise lines, and we firmly believe that Royal Caribbean still offers the best entertainment at sea.

While the show was still in preview, we were able to watch Torque a couple times across our cruises and it lived up to our expectations.

The Aquadome Market offers families a wider range of international flavors with portion sizes that are perfect for sharing or trying multiple options.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book show reservations before boarding the ship to secure prime seats.
βœ“Consider staying on board one day at a port to minimize waiting at the water park.
βœ“Use the Pearl Cafe for charging devices while enjoying coffee or a snack.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Crowding on a large ship β€” Venues can be busy, but you can often find quiet spots or areas with few other passengers.
Height requirements for water park slides β€” Most slides have a minimum height requirement of at least 48 inches; manage expectations for younger kids.
