Star Breeze Cruise Reviews - Tips

Be prepared for small destinations and wet landings. So make sure you pack or get some water shoes.

Sue Kulig, Priceline was very knowledgeable, always available and great to work with. Thank you Sue!

Bring at least two bathing suits and some clothes pins to hang to dry. Also only two plugs for charging in the room so an extender is helpful

I really don't have a tip but I will say that the crew members spoiled us rotten! We loved all of them!

Be sure not to overpay for a Windstar cruise since pricing goes down significantly with 60 days of the cruise's start date if the ships aren't full. They seem to have more supply than demand right now so it may be a good time for bargain hunters to take a Windstar cruise.

We were prompt arriving for excursions and all left late. Next time we'll arrive at departure time rather than early.

Watch for sales! If the price goes down, call your agent (I used Kristi Putnam and loved her), and they will adjust the price or you can opt to use the price difference to upgrade your cabin type.

Drinks package of $800+ not worth it, pay as you go, even if you drink every day your check won't go that high.

Very much enjoyed the small ship experience. Hope to enjoy one without interuptions.

Eddie - very knowledgeable about nature in Costa Rica and Panama.

United Cruises, was very helpful and efficient,,,my agent Richie Mize was on top of every detail,...only glich was the airport transportation leaving Panama city....see review

I was a little concerned about the Zodiac and the wet landings, but the crew is so good at their job there was no need to worry. We did not need the "beach" shoes I bought, we wore our flip-flops - took them off to get in and out of the Zodiak.

If you enjoy meeting people and learning RE their travels, etc., join other folks for dinner. ZERO work talk!

Other passengers are generally well traveled and very friendly.

DO NOT

We found that most people on board were well traveled and were more interested in the destinations and less interested in the activities on board. That was exactly what we were looking for. Make sure you consider this before selecting to take any small ship cruise.

Go to all the daily history talks and port talks. Go to the chef's presentation, and tour the kitchen. It all makes the experience much richer.
