This was our first foray into freestyle cruising and it really isn't for us. That being said, it was still a very enjoyable cruise and was great in many respects.
My DH and I planned this cruise around the ship, not the itinerary, as we have been to Mexico many times.
The Star is a beautiful ship with many amenities. The passengers were quite varied. Lots of Canadians, Brits, Americans, and children. This ship seems to appeal to all age ranges, and the children on board looked to be having a blast! They even had their own buffet line.
