Star Princess Bars & Cocktails: Our Family Poker Bar Crawl
We decided a normal bar crawl aboard Star Princess wasn’t quite enough — so we added poker. Seven of us set out to visit seven bars and lounges around the ship. At every stop, each person draws one playing card. At the end of the crawl, everyone builds their best five-card poker hand and one very lucky family member walks away with the grand prize — and, more importantly, the bragging rights. Link to full Star Princess review coming soon! Along the way, we sample drinks and check out the atmosphere at venues including O’Malley’s Irish Pub, Bellini’s, Crooners, Wheelhouse, the pool-area bars, Cascade inside The Dome, and the Sanctuary Bar. And because we’re sailing with Princess Premier, drinks priced up to $20 are included — which makes a seven-bar experiment considerably easier on the wallet. There are plenty of cocktails, a few beers, some mocktails, tacos, questionable poker strategy, and one highly coveted Princess Christmas ornament waiting at the finish line. Come along for our Star Princess Family Bar Crawl and see who ends up with the winning hand.
