Island Star Cruise Ship

A new addition for 2006, the Island Star will have the same relaxed, friendly and informal approach as her sister ship but with upgraded facilities. A bigger vessel she has more room for additional bars and restaurants, a separate kids’ pool and a wider choice of balcony and suite cabins.

Many others have given detailed reviews, so I shall try and get to the point.

First of all, understand that this is not a formal cruise and it is made clear when booking. One reviewer complained about standards dropping on cruises, which... read more

We recently returned (5/8/2006) from 2 weeks on Island Star. The positive aspects of the ship are the food and the crew which are both of a very good standard. The worst aspect of the ship for our first week was a cabin which suffered from an... read more

I sat watching an unfunny Northern Comedian in the Ocean Theatre, with Line Dancing upstairs, Karaoke next door, and Bingo in another room. I then looked at the man next to me who had spider webs tattooed on his elbows. It was at this point that I... read more

This was my first cruise and I went with an elderly relative. I couldn't have been more impressed with the variety of activities and excursions that were available for both our age groups.

The food was fantastic both in quality and choice... read more

I can rattle on forever telling you how good the room we had on deck 9 (Golden deck) was, or how fantastic every member of the crew was and how good the food was etc, etc, etc.

Best thing to do is book it and go, you will love it.

What a lovely ship. All the good stuff from the Island Escape and then some! Spacious, friendly & relaxed with all the facilities that you need. We had a deluxe balcony room which included a fridge, TV and all that you would expect for a 5 star... read more

Having read some of the less than positive reviews, we were a little apprehensive before embarking but we need not have worried. The ship is obviously not new and some of the public areas that have not been refurbished are a little shabby here there... read more

My wife and I have done about 30 Cruises and I must say for what we paid it was one of the best.

We flew from Luton 0610 by 1130 Majorca time we were in our cabin on Golden Deck with a restricted view which we was aware of.

It was our first cruise and I have to say we enjoyed it onboard the Island Star thoroughly. The staff were always happy and friendly and extra special thanks to the captain and the guest relations manager, who went out of their way to ensure my elderly... read more

We spent 2 weeks on the Island Star Ancient Odyssey 22nd April to 6th May. The ship has been refurbished and is very nice. It is bigger than the Island Escape, we went on that last year. We were on deck 9 and the cabins were very spacious with plenty... read more

We have just returned from the Island Star Mediterranean Essence cruise having enjoyed many of the facilities. I know it is early in the schedule for this latest refitted ship and I suspect that the ship may have been suffering early teething problems.... read more
