Star Princess Reviews

A superb ship, very modern throughout and offering a great range of different choices of eateries and bars. The ship is very easy to navigate and based upon size does not feel overcrowded. The hidden gem of this Cruise Liner is it is manned by amazing staff, always making sure that you have a wonderful experience and create amazing memories.

Thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on a brand new ship.

We have just returned from a week on the Star Princess and it is a fantastic ship. We tried the new Sanctuary class and had a Sanctuary mini suite. It was amongst the biggest and best equipped mini suites that we have stayed in over 30 or more cruises in the past 25 years. The crew were excellent and it seems that many were transfer from the Sister ship (Sun Princess) to ensure that things ran smoothly from its inaugural cruise. We had the premium drinks package so were able to use the speciality restaurants every night of the cruise. Love by Britto high on deck 17 overlooking the rear of the ship was our favourite and we hope to see this restaurant rolled out on other ships. There was little to complain about. The service in the Crown Grill and Rudi’s was a nit slow but this may be down to the fact that we were in the second voyage that the ship has made. Food quality was excellent too. As with other ships the medallion is really a gimmick - yes it opens your door for you but ordering a drink is hit and miss and you probably wait 15 to 20 minutes for the drink to arrive. Much better just going to the bar yourself! In most of the restaurants and bars we were still asked for our cabin number when ordering food or drinks and on occasion waiters had to physically touch their machines ro the medallion for it to work. We feel that the medallion is a waste of time and effort and would be happy with a plain ship card like on other ships. The medallion in no way influences us to use Princess but the service. , food and staff will always have us returning! If you like cruising on bigger ships then give the Star a go - we loved it!!

The ship was first class but very large on of the largest we have been on. Overall we had a lovely time although we found the ship difficult to navigate around because of its size. The princess medallion was very efficient (only used cruise cards before). We were disappointed that the ship did not have a dedicated traditional theatre only a number of event spaces that were often noise evasive to quieter areas. Inside cabins were quire small especially the bathroom making it difficult to get in and out of the shower.
