I wish I could give this rating 10 stars!!! I have sailed with Stars at Sea on 3 cruises and each one was better than the previous. So easy to deal with and the customer service was fantastic! Can't wait until the next cruise! I highly recommend.

Do not use Stars At Sea!!! We were told to provide a show with wings and costume changes and then told we would be performing in a small ballroom style area with no stage or lighting. We had to fight to be able to perform in the main the theatre, and thanks to the Royal Caribbean staff they met our needs. Stars at Sea is very unprofessional. They act like they will help you at any moment and meet your needs, but when it comes down to it they are not reachable on the phone and don't communicate at all with royal carribean. When we got on the boat the RC staff had NO idea what we needed bc stars

If you're looking for a travel agency to book your performance, you might as well do it yourself!
Stars at sea talks all this prep up and from the moment we stepped onto the ship NOTHING was settle out. The royal Caribbean brilliance staff didn't even know half of WHAT was suppose to happen. Our OWN Studio director did a great job Getting us the right stage and what not. Stars at sea you ARE A J O K E ... Michelle and Steve you need another Job.. Because WE DID YOUR JOB...

Stars at Sea is nothing what they say they are. I have used Travel agents in the past and had to do absolutely nothing. This is not the case with Stars at Seas. When we boarded with Royal Carribean they had no clue what was done and not done. Although Royal Carribean certainly made up for it. They shouldn't have had to do anything if Stars at Sea did their job correctly. If you are looking to book something like this you might want to go to Dancing at Sea or Dancing Destinations or basically what we received from Stars at Sea, you could do it yourself. Michelle and John from Stars at Sea, you need

I have owned my school, located in Ontario Canada, for just over 15 years. I selected Stars at Sea over nine years ago to plan a cruise for my competitive students. Over the past nine yeats, we have taken two cruises, traveled to Florida for a combined Disney/Universal Studios performance trip, and, currently looking forward to our next cruise weve booked for June 2018. I can recall my reluctance to work with a US company ten years ago as I was choosing a performance event on behalf of my best students/clients. Im certainly glad I picked Stars at Sea. They have always worked in my and my
