We did enjoy our trip, 7 Days to Florida and the Bahamas, leaving NYC Dec 15,2013.
BUT. Too many people, (the children were ok). Ship layout was not as welcoming.
We did the same itinery/time frame last year on the Jewel, we enjoyed the trip much better despite bad weather. Our two previous trips, repositioning trips on the Star were great.
cabin was ok, balcony small, see review about smokers.Our neighbor smoked, but not too often
