Star Breeze Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise because we wanted to sail through the Panama Canal, do a little snorkeling, and get away from crowds. Our prior experience with large cruise lines, left us feeling uncomfortable with cruising. We ran across Windstar's much smaller ship, and decided that it might be just right for us.
Because we weren't interested in shows, socializing too much, visiting crowded ports with T shirt shops, and waiting in long lines, Windstar was perfect. The Star Breeze surprised us by offering beautiful Oceanview suites as their smallest cabins. We also took advantage of the free 24 hour room service. The food was plentiful, and delicious. Our crew was always eager to please. We arrived at each port on schedule.
For a tropical cruise on Windstar, I would recommend packing clothing that dries quickly (fishing shirts, etc.), 1 or 2 country club outfits for dinner, and 3 pairs of shoes (water, hiking, and resort casual for dinner.) Aside from that, get the laundry service. We regretted our decision to overpack and not order laundry service.
Cabin Review
Ocean View Suite
The bed was comfortable and made daily. We appreciated the walk in closet and drawer space. Because our cabin and living area was so comfortable, we spent quite a bit of time on the couch looking out the window. I never expected to see a double sink in our bathroom, but that was a nice surprise! We never had an issue with hot water. Our refrigerator was refilled daily, but next time, I would ask for specific drinks. The room was spotless. Abdul did an amazing job taking care of our room and our needs!
