What Travelers Say About Star Princess
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Star Princess sailing. Based on 450 discussions.
Star Princess is the second Sphere-class ship and a near-twin of Sun Princess, but it arrives as the version that learned from its sister's mistakes. Debuting in October 2025 with an 11-day Mediterranean roundtrip from Barcelona, it carries roughly 4,300 guests at around 178,000 gross tons and was christened in November 2025 with godparents Camila and Matthew McConaughey. The vibe is refined, modern, and premium-but-unpretentious, built around the same futuristic Sphere atrium and the signature glass-domed solarium, and pitched squarely at mature couples, groups of friends, and first-time Princess cruisers.
What People Love
- Princess baked in fixes from Sun Princess's launch from day one, so the operational debut went noticeably more smoothly than its sister's.
- A brand-new separate non-smoking casino directly addresses one of the biggest complaints about Sun Princess.
- Specialty venues The Butcher's Block by Dario and The Catch by Rudi now occupy dedicated spaces rather than the awkward back-of-buffet placement they had on Sun.
Common Complaints
- As a brand-new ship that debuted in October 2025, it has very few reviews and no verified aggregate rating yet.
- Wayfinding was not improved and remains as confusing as Sun Princess, with inadequate signage.
- The Eatery buffet is still undersized and overcrowded for 4,300 guests, pushing diners to sun-exposed outdoor tables.
