Summary

We just got back from our 3-night preview cruise on Star of the Seas, before the ship’s official launch and we have so much to share. This is the sister ship to Icon of the Seas which was the newest, largest cruise ship in the world from Royal Caribbean International when it launched last year. We loved so many things about Star of the Seas. Today we’re talking all about everything we experienced and everything we are looking forward to trying the next time we sail on her, from the amazing spaces and wonderful entertainment, to Perfect Day at CocoCay. Enjoy!
