The Star is a beautiful ship and spending Christmas with family on a 10 day cruise is the best vacation anyone can ask for. Here is a review.

Embarkation was a breeze. It was one of the best and easiest ones we've been involved in. Cabin: E 716 is a special J category cabin that is a mini suite. It was very spacious with a sofa that opened up as a bed for my 14 yo daughter. We later found out that it is a handicap cabin. We were quite happy to get such a cabin.

Ports: St Vincent is dirty, poor and not ready for tourists at all. We got a taxi driver and he took us up to the fort and to the botanical gardens. In Grenada, we again got a taxi driver to take us all over the island. He gave us a spice tour, took us around the island and dropped us off at the beach. He came and picked us up at the designated time. In St Lucia we took the Princess catamaran tour to the Pitons which wasn't worth the money. Our own tour in the afternoon was more educational. Martinique was a tender port and we walked around town ourselves. In St. Thomas we shopped and then went to Sapphire Beach. Princess Cays was our last stop. Read more
