Cabin: Inside

Overall, I found the Star to be okay. I recently sailed the Jade (Panama Canal, Miami round-trip) and have favorites on both boats and wish the two would combine to make my dream ship!

My favorite area in the morning was on Deck 12, Spice H2O (adults only, though apparently one couple couldn't read and their daughter was found often in there) -- but during the day it was hard to find a comfy seat in there (mostly due to seat saving).

This ship could use two pools (one preferable adult only), but only has one. I do like the tiered deck, however. We could usually find a seat in the pool area in the afternoon, which is when we preferred to swim anyway. It seemed like there were plenty of hot tubs to go around, but since it was so warm on most of our trip we didn't really take advantage of those.

Cabin Review

Inside

Cabin IX

We booked inside cabins and got upgraded a bit to a higher class inside cabin from what we could tell. Plenty of space for both of us, adequate storage. We liked the floor plan, we felt it gave us a bit more room than our friend's cabin with a different layout.
