Star of the Seas - Eastern Caribbean & Perfect Day
Star of the Seas' signature Eastern Caribbean loop from Port Canaveral front-loads a full day at Perfect Day at CocoCay before crossing to San Juan and St. Maarten. Three sea days give plenty of time for the Category 6 waterpark, AquaDome shows and the ship's eight neighborhoods.

What Travelers Say About Star of the Seas
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Star of the Seas sailing. Based on 620 discussions.
Star of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's second Icon-class ship and co-holder of the world's-largest-cruise-ship title, and travelers consistently describe it less as a ship than a floating resort town. The eight-neighborhood design - from the greenery of Central Park to the thrill decks of Thrill Island - gives it a theme-park energy, and the consensus from early sailings is that it lives up to the hype as long as you arrive expecting crowds and pounding energy rather than a quiet week at sea.
What People Love
- Entertainment lineup is a genuine standout - Back to the Future: The Musical and the AquaDome dive shows draw repeat mentions as the best productions at sea
- Eight-neighborhood layout spreads 5,600+ guests surprisingly well - travelers report rarely waiting for food or drinks outside peak events
- Category 6 is the largest waterpark at sea, with six full-size slides that keep kids occupied for entire sea days
Common Complaints
- It is a genuinely crowded ship when everyone gathers - sailaway, headliner shows and holiday sailings can exceed 7,000 passengers
- Noise is a recurring complaint - music around the pools and Promenade often runs at nightclub volume all day
- As a newer ship some crew are still learning their roles, and service consistency lags veteran ships like Harmony
