What We Loved: 🍴 Food – authentic Indian dishes in the Main Dining Room, El Loco Fresh tacos, AquaDome Market, and late-night Sorrento’s pizza 🍹 Drinks – $6 margaritas during Happy Hour, unique bar menus, and plenty of water/juice stations 🎭 Entertainment – shows like Torque (aqua show with motorcycles!), Sol on ice, and Back to the Future: The Musical 🎨 Design – The Pearl, Central Park, The Hideaway infinity pool, and tons of lounge space What We Didn’t Love: 🚬 Smoky hallways near crew areas 👥 Crowds in adults-only spaces and at Perfect Day at CocoCay 💸 Pricey drink packages ($120/day if purchased onboard!) 🎹 Popular venues like Dueling Pianos were far too small What We Hated: 🎰 A smoky, packed casino 🥴 Chaos in the Windjammer Buffet on embarkation day 🔒 Everything booking up too quickly (reserve shows and activities before you sail!) 🚪 Loud stateroom doors and clunky storage baskets Final Thoughts: Star of the Seas is the largest cruise ships in the world and part of Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class. While we only had 4 days onboard during a showcase sailing, it’s clear this ship deserves a full week (or longer) to experience everything.
