🚢✨ STAR PRINCESS REVIEW!
I recently returned from my very first cruise aboard the beautiful Star Princess, and I wanted to share my experience with you all!
🍽️🍹 FOOD & DRINKS: 8/10
The food was AMAZING! Surprisingly, the buffet was by far my favourite! There were so many options to choose from, with different selections every day. They even had a different soft-serve ice cream flavour daily, and I may or may not have had dessert every single day! 😂🍦
The specialty restaurants were also incredible, with delicious food and so many options to try.
🍣 If you're a sushi lover, Makoto Ocean is an absolute MUST! One of my favourite dining experiences onboard!
There was also a fantastic selection of drinks onboard, from tropical cocktails and frozen favourites to wines, beers, and specialty coffees. With so many bars throughout the ship, there was always somewhere to grab a drink!
The only small downside was that drink service at the main bar could be a little slower at times. However, with SO many bars throughout the ship, it was nothing to head to another one and get served a little quicker!
🎭 ENTERTAINMENT: 10/10
WOW. Just WOW!
Hands down, some of the BEST entertainment I have ever experienced on vacation!
From hilarious game shows and interactive activities with guests and crew to incredible live bands, themed nights, and performances, there was ALWAYS something happening!
You could truly never be bored onboard. The entertainment staff deserve every bit of this 10/10 rating. They were absolutely phenomenal and really knew how to get everyone involved!
🛏️ STATEROOM: 10/10
First of all, I think this may have been the COMFIEST bed I have ever slept in!
Our stateroom was surprisingly spacious, and having our own private balcony was such a bonus. There was nothing better than enjoying our morning coffees outside while taking in the ocean views. ☕🌊
Our room steward was incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick to help with anything we needed. The service was fantastic!
✨ SHIP DESIGN & LAYOUT: 10/10
Star Princess is absolutely STUNNING!
The main Piazza was one of my favourite areas of the ship. The lighting and atmosphere were incredible, especially in the evenings when everything transformed with different colours and displays!
The signage throughout the ship made navigating surprisingly easy, and Princess's newer elevator system was extremely efficient.
For such a large ship, I found it very easy to get around!
🧼 CLEANLINESS: 10/10
Absolutely spotless!
From our stateroom to the restaurants, lounges, elevators, and public areas, the entire ship was incredibly clean and well maintained.
With thousands of guests onboard, I was genuinely impressed by how clean everything was kept throughout the day.
The crew were constantly working behind the scenes to keep the ship looking beautiful, and their hard work certainly didn't go unnoticed!
💆♀️🌊 LOTUS SPA: 10/10
What an AMAZING experience!
From the moment I arrived, the attention to detail and level of service were incredible. Every little touch made the experience feel luxurious, peaceful, and relaxing.
And can we talk about the VIEW?! There is something so special about being pampered while looking out at the beautiful ocean. It truly takes relaxation to a whole new level!
The atmosphere was so calming, and it was the perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy a little extra pampering during the cruise.
🌴 MY OVERALL THOUGHTS AS A FIRST-TIME CRUISER
As someone who typically vacations at all-inclusive resorts, I have to say that cruising is a VERY different experience!
The overall atmosphere and vacation style are definitely different from what I'm used to, but that's part of what made this experience so exciting.
If there is ONE thing I would change about this cruise, it would have been to book a LONGER one! 😂🚢
Four nights just wasn't enough time to experience everything this beautiful ship had to offer!
As a travel agent, I love being able to experience different styles of travel firsthand so I can share my experiences and help my clients find the vacation that's right for them 💛✨
Star Princess certainly made my first cruise a memorable one! 💗🌊
