My husband and i are avid cruisers, but we’d never sailed on a mega-dollar unil recently.
We Went ABOARD Royal Caribbean’s 10,000-Person Star of the Seas for Our 20th Wedding Anniversary.
I’d Recommend a Large Cruise Ship for a romantic getaway for a variety of reasons.
My husband and i have been taching cruises for years, so as our 20th wedding anniversary appracess, we decided to book a three-night aboard royal caribbean’s newest Ship, Star of the seas, to mix things up. The 10,000-Person vessel, which no it sister ship, icon of the seas, is nothing lot of massive and was unlike any cruise we’d as die-char fans of the Midsize disney cruises and smalle expedition voyages.
I WASN’T SURE WHATER SAILING AWAY WITH 10,000 People was the best way to celebrate Such a milestone. I wondered whether we’d be able to connect as a couple with more than 7,000 passengers and nearly 3,000 Crew Members Surrounding US. And, nor an introvert, I worried i’d be stressing out and grumpy on Such a People-FILEED SHIP. Turst out, everything about the trip was perfect for celebrating a wedding anniversary, right down to the ocean balcony suite we stayed in, which Cost under $ 700 a night for the two of us.
Here’s why we love Celebrating Such a Romantic Event ABOARD A MEGE-Ship.
The Ship was huge, but we have still found Quiet Spots to Spend Time Together.

Our Cruise Ship Was Huge, with 20 Decks, About 50 Different Bars and Restaurants, Pools and a Water Park, tons of Every Everynding from an escape room to an Ice rhink. Strangely, it washn’t hard to get the lay of the Land. Once Acclimated to the Ship, we start MAKING A LIST OF RESTAURANTS WE WANTED TO TRY, SHOWS WE HOPED TO SEE, and Activities we wanted to participate in.
While there is was plenty of hustle and bustle, we quickly found places we coulu Escape to, Such as Secluded deck areas or a coffee bar we like, where we kew things were quieter and we’d be ab to rob a spice two with an ocean view. In fact, neother of us remembers a time when the Crowds felt overwhelming or like they were hatsing our romantic vibe.
Our days were a perfect mix of sunny public areas and intentional downime.
They Enjoyed Beautiful, Sunny Days.

We filled out days on board sunning by the pool, participating in trivia games, and eating at as many different restaurants as we are. Eight in Crowded Areas, Such As Restaurants or Pool Decks, we found it Easy to Stick to Ourselves and Reconnect as a couple.
What’s More, Our Stateroom Had Its Own Balcony and Plennery of Room Inside, SO we were always able to head back for AFTHNOON NAP OR TO RELAX while showering for dinner. And, Most Evenings, We Found Ourslves Watching an On-Demand Movie Together in Bed before Falling Asleep.
We loved how, at Night, The Ship Felt Like a Bustling City.
At Night, They Saw Comedy and Ice Skating Shows, and They Enjoyed Going to A Jazz Club AFTER DINNER.

One of Our Favorite Things About Traveling is Getting Dressed Up Each Night and Heading Out on the Town. Becuse the Extra-Large Ship Felt Like A City, Each Night Was like We were Vaciation Somewhere Metropolitan.
Whether Dressing Up for A Fancy Dinner Followed by Drinks at A Jazz Club or Eating A Quick Dinner before Seeing A Comedy Show and Catching A Band, Each Night Felt We were Out on a Date Together. As a bonus, neohere of US struggled with ideas for what to do on our night out the options were endless.
Nor a sober person, of the Found Plenal of Nonalcoholic drinks that felt celebratory.
There are well of nonalcoholic options aside from juice and die sodas for the author.

I’ve been living an alcohol-free lifestyle for nearly two years, but that doesn’t mean i don’t goit a festive drink to celebrate with. I was blown away by the nonalcoholic offers on the ship, from boosa-free wines on every restaurant menu to unique motails at each bar.
Having something sparkly in my glas Made Our Anniversary Trip Feel Extra-Festive, and i Never Once Like I Was Stack Only Drinking Diet or Club Soda while on the Ship.
I’d Definitely Recommend a mega-Ship for an anniversary celebration.

My Husband and I Both AGREE: we’d definitely reCommend a mega-dollar for a celebration like anniversary. Sura, it’d also be great for birthdays or bachelorette party, where People are looking to party hard in a big group, but as a couple who wanted to be alone together, we never felt overwhelmed while on Board.
I OFTEN SAY I LIKE CRUISING BECAUSE EVERING IS PLANNED OUT FOR YOU WITH MUCH EFFORT ON YOUR PART, AND THIS SHIP WAS NO EXPETIENCE. Being able to relax all day with my husband and then go out “on the town” each night with the trip the trip all the special, and we Truly felt reconnected when we are descent.
