Accommodations....Comfortable, but not modern. The Star lifestyle is based in part on our commitment to conservation of resources.
Bedrooms
Clothing: (extra for kids is always a good idea) Dress is casual except on Friday evening when some like to dress up for the banquet dinner.
Toiletries: Though there is a Lobby Store (but NO pharmacy) that sells many personal care products, you should plan to bring a full array of toiletries for each family member including:
What to Bring for Social Hour:This year to keep in accordance with COVID safety guidelines and to make social hour more accessible, social hour will be BYOB. That means folks will be able to purchase their own alcoholic beverages and bring them with them. All alcohol will be transported on the luggage boat. (cases will be stacked and single bottles will be placed in containers). Simply label your beverages with your name and then once on Island you may store them in the social hour space or in your room. Please purchase room temperature beverages so things don’t go bad. There is refrigeration space available once we get on Island.
