Princess Might Have Got This Wrong...Our Honest Review of the New Star Princess

Watch Part Two of Our Star Princess Review Here:    • The Star Princess: A Massive Success or a ...   We Review The Newest Princess Cruise Ship in their fleet. The Star Princess. In our honest review we go through everything they have got right, and where they have fallen short. We just returned from the brand-new Star Princess Cruise Ship (launched October 2025) which is the sister to the Sun Princess. Our experience was a little bit of a rollercoaster. From cabin problems early in the cruise, to discovering why the stunning Piazza atrium is arguably the loudest spot at sea, we’re sharing the unfiltered "Best and Worst" of this 4,300-passenger ship. The Good News? We absolutely loved The Dome and were genuinely impressed by how well the ship managed the crowds! If you're booking for Alaska in 2026 or the Caribbean in 2027, you need to see this before you choose your deck. In this honest Star Princess Cruise Ship review, we cover: The Cabin Issue: Why we had to move rooms and the specific "No-Go" zones for light sleepers. The Piazza Noise: Why the glass Sphere design is a double-edged sword for atmosphere. The Dome Success: Why this Santorini-inspired venue is the best spot on the ship. Crowd Management: Does a ship this big feel like a shopping mall? (The answer might surprise you!)
