Star of the Seas in the Caribbean: how rough does it get?
Star of the Seas anchors Port Canaveral rather than Miami, alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from the Orlando coast, which gives Florida's second cruise port an Icon Class ship of its own and puts her first open water leg further north than her sister's.

Frequently asked questions
Is Star of the Seas rough in the Caribbean?
+
Rarely: she shares the 248,663 ton Icon Class hull that damps trade wind chop to background levels. The Atlantic day out of Port Canaveral is the leg where motion registers, and mostly in hurricane season.
When is the Star of the Seas Caribbean rotation calmest?
+
December through May. The ship sails identical loops all year, so the month you pick, not the itinerary, sets the odds. September and October carry the highest chance of storm-rerouted weeks.
Where does Star of the Seas sail from in the Caribbean?
+
Port Canaveral on Florida's east coast, swapping between an Eastern and a Western Caribbean week on a fixed rotation.
