Don’t plan on eating very good food, and be prepared to pay extra fees for things like soda and then get hit with a $30-36 per day fee to provide tips to the entire shop crew which was ridiculous since we topped our butler and cleaning crew separately.

DON’T waste your money on shore excursions! They are crazy expensive, you get herded about like cattle and generally leave the ship LAST!!! Also, if you want peace and quiet the aft-deck is lovely.

Eat most of your meals at O'Sheehans. only good meal on ship

Not as nice as other ships we have been on. Staff were great. And not as many activities. Also not many restaurants during day. But dining room is open for lunch.

PHONE/INTERNET: Make sure you go into airplane mode when you’re leaving each port, or you could get big phone charges! You can still get onto the ship’s app for free while you’re in airplane mode, and the ship’s internet if you pay for it. One of our Free-at-Sea offers was 250 internet minutes, which my husband planned to use. However, he forgot to turn it off the first night, and wasted it. I told him to go talk to guest services and they might give him some time back, but he didn’t care enough to do that. My daughter and I both bought the social media package. We were going to share one (by taking turns), but then she wanted her own, so we were each able to have it on at all times on the ship, which was really nice. It worked great for Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Snapchat. Not sure about Twitter; I didn’t try it. We could upload and send pics without a problem; it was just a little slow at times. When we got into each port, we went out of airplane mode and used Verizon data for $10/day. You can also pay around $10 per person for the entire cruise to communicate with each other through the ship’s app while on board.

TIP: Enjoy yourself on a smaller, less crowded more intimate ship. Take care of (TIP) your staff, and they'll take care of YOU!

Explore the entire ship. It’s well worth it.

Do not eat at Versailles

Avoid this cruise since the ship had to tender at 4 of 6 ports, and they used their life boats as the tenders sometimes. Had to wait hours at Montenegro to get off ship. Long wait to get back in. Very unorganized and stressful. Basically wasted my day.

Don't do it. Pick Disney or someone else.

You need to enjoy a medium sized ship.

ask wait staff in restaurants to bring food not overcooked & send back if it is

The Star is a great smaller ship. My last cruise was on the Epic. Much bigger. The Star turned out to be just as enjoyable.
