The staff on the Star was wonderful. They were always courteous, helpful and went beyond their assigned duties. Other than cutting our food and feeding us they did everything within their power to make our journey memorable. The Spa was a great place to relax when we had down time. The size of the ship made it easy to go from place to place without going out of the way. The food in the buffet was excellent, there were so many choices it was difficult to make a decision. It was also great having wine/beer included in our lunches and dinner. They say you get what you pay for and every dollar we spent was worth it. I've never had a more enjoyable cruise, I felt like a pampered princess. The walking and included tours gave us an overview of the many countries we visited. It was a great way to see several different countries, learn about their cultures and not have to constantly be packing and unpacking.
