Windstar's Star Pride receives high praise for its exceptional service, outstanding crew, and intimate small-ship atmosphere. Guests consistently highlight the quality of food, comfortable accommodations, and well-organized excursions. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some guests note areas for improvement, such as ship maintenance, occasional underwhelming meals, and disappointing or overpriced excursions. The ship's smaller size and attentive staff create a personalized and welcoming experience, making it a favorite for many repeat cruisers.
