First Look: Royal Caribbean’s New Star of the Seas 

I’m excited to share some news! I recently experienced an unforgettable family journey aboard Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas, the newest ship in the fleet. Sailing from Port Canaveral, I explored everything this spectacular vessel has to offer—from family-friendly waterparks and vibrant dining venues to serene escapes and world-class entertainment. With a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and memorable nights onboard, Star of the Seas is already setting a new standard for holidays at sea. 

My Itinerary for the Week 

We boarded the Star of the Seas in Port Canaveral, and thanks to the SetSail Pass in the app, everything was smooth from the start. The holiday energy hit instantly. Our first stop? A celebratory glass of champagne followed by lunch at one of the many dining venues onboard. The app made it so easy to check what was open. 

By 1pm, we were stepping into our Surfside balcony stateroom. After dropping our bags, we couldn’t resist heading straight out to explore. 

Exploring Star of the Seas

This ship is brimming with experiences for everyone: 

• Aquadome Market: Street-food style dining concepts paired with serene ocean views. 

• Family fun at sea: Waterparks and splash zones to keep the kids and teens entertained for hours. 

• Date-night ready: Broadway shows, including an incredible production of Back to the Future. 

Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, you’ll find yourself wishing the cruise could last even longer. 

Day Two: A Perfect Day at CocoCay 

Waking up to the sight of Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, felt like stepping into paradise. I began the morning on the beach before taking on the adrenaline-pumping rides at Thrill Waterpark. 

For adults traveling without children, the brand-new Hideaway Beach is a dream. It’s an adults-only escape complete with its own swim-up Hideaway Bar serving perfectly chilled cocktails—an oasis within an oasis. 

Nights Full of Energy 

Evenings on board are nothing short of spectacular. One highlight was the Millennium Mania Party, where I went full Y2K in double denim and neon, dancing the night away to nostalgic hits from the 90s and 2000s. 

As my trip came to an end, the Caribbean Party on the Royal Promenade set the perfect tone for a finale. Picture tropical shirts, floral dresses, lively island rhythms, and dancing under dazzling lights. It was the ultimate way to wrap up an unforgettable holiday at sea. 

Star of the Seas is more than just a cruise ship—it’s a destination in itself. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or with friends, this ship offers something to make your holiday extraordinary.
