Sarah Bretz, ContributorRoyal Caribbean has announced nw details on the entertainment and dining that will be found aboard its upcoming mega ship Star of the Seas.
True to its name, Star of the Seas will feature Royal Caribbean’s boldest entertainment ever, with five signature shows across multiple venues. Guests will enjoy all-day entertainment including new theatrical productions, live music from the largest orchestra at sea, daring stunts from high divers and aerialists, and more. The ship will also feature over 40 spots to dine and drink, with something to suit everyone’s taste buds.
Entertainment
At the ship’s Royal Theater, guests can enjoy Royal Caribbean’s all-new production “Create.” The show follows the soul-searching journey of a curious robot, KRE-8, harnessing song, dance, visual arts, and more.
Families can embark on a swashbuckling adventure with the AquaTheater show “Pirates & Mermaids.” The fun-filled show combines dance, artistic swimming, and thrilling diving skills, all set to a comedic vibe as the pirates meet the mermaids — culminating in a lesson about the true treasure of life. The AquaTheater will also feature the show “Torque,” a revved-up aqua show featuring athletic artists, synchronized swimmers, dancers, and slackliners.
Headlining the entertainment lineup is cult-classic hit “Back to the Future: The Musical” traveling straight from Broadway to Star of the Seas. Passengers can take a blast to the past with classic rock hits played by the largest orchestra at sea, choreography, special effects, and surprise Royal Caribbean twists.
The Absolute Zero ice skating rink will be home to “SOL,” an all-new show that follows the sun’s path and features the brand’s largest ice skating cast ever.
When the sun goes down, there will be plenty of ways to party on Star of the Seas — from late-night karaoke to adults-only comedy shows in The Attic.
Dining
First introduced on Star‘s sister ship Icon of the Seas, the vessel will feature the AquaDome Market, a food hall featuring food stands each serving up a different cuisine. Star of the Seas will feature five food stands, three of which are new. One will serve smoky pulled pork and beef brisket, while the other two will offer southeast Asian regional favorites like pad thai and beef penag and South America staples including empanadas and arepas.
The Windjammer buffet, family-favorite Surfside Eatery, and Basecamp at Thrill Island will also be found on Star of the Seas.
For an elevated evening dining experience, guests can make a reservation at Lincoln Park Supper Club, inspired by 1930s Chicago. The experience pairs live jazz music with sophisticated cocktails and curated dishes that nod back to iconic dining spots in the Windy City — from the Chez Paree club to the famed The Pump Room.
Other specialty dining includes Chops Grille, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, and Celebration Table — a private dining experience perfect for a special occasion.
Star of the Seas will feature over 20 bars and nightlife spots, including Dueling Pianos, Rye & Bean serving up coffee-infused cocktails, the New Orleans-inspired Lou’s, and Bubbles champagne bar.
