New to Cruising II


Common Questions

Will I get seasick?
All of Star cruise’s cruise ships have modern stabilizing systems to counteract ocean swells and sophisticated navigation tools that allow the Captain to skirt inclement weather. Most guests get their “sea legs” within a few hours, however if you are concerned about becoming seasick, over-the-counter motion sickness medications and homeopathic remedies are available at most pharmacies.

Will I feel confined by the size of my cabin?

Star cruise’s award-winning accommodations are among the most spacious at sea. All are ocean-view suites with separate sitting areas, walk-in wardrobes and full-size bathtubs.

Are the ships safe?
Star cruise ships must continually pass strict Coast Guard inspections and all crewmembers undergo training to perform various responsibilities in the event of an emergency. Like all cruise ships,Star cruise conducts a safety drill shortly after before sailing away from the embarkation port. In this drill, guests learn the location of their “muster station” and how to correctly wear the safety vest provided in each suite. All of Star cruise’s cruise ships carry a predetermined number of lifeboats and rafts – more than enough to accommodate all guests and crew onboard in the unlikely event of an evacuation, and all Star cruise ships are equipped with numerous smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.
