Meet Me in Orlando ✦

THE BIRTHDAY HOUSE
$100

per person · all 3 nights

I'm getting an Airbnb for anyone who wants to come early, stay with the group and enjoy Orlando without worrying about a hotel.

Shared Airbnb accommodations for Oct. 28, 29 and 30. Transportation, meals, attractions, park admission and transportation to Port Canaveral are separate.

A little magic before we sail ✨

I'll personally be spending my Orlando days at Disney because it's one of my favorite places to be. Come with me, make your own Orlando plans, or just enjoy the house and the company.

Disney is my plan, not a requirement. Your Orlando time is yours.

Part II · October 31–November 7

Then We Sail.

Seven nights aboard Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, sailing from Port Canaveral through the Eastern Caribbean.

✨

Choose Your Stateroom

Swipe through the room types below. Photos are examples so you can understand the differences before you book.

Interior stateroom example photo 1 Interior stateroom example photo 2 Interior stateroom example photo 3 Interior stateroom example photo 4
ROOM EXAMPLE ONLY
Interiorfrom $1,583.88 per guest

Standard Interior rooms do not have an exterior ocean window or balcony. Some Interior-category rooms can overlook one of the ship’s interior neighborhoods and may include a window looking into that neighborhood, depending on the exact category and availability.

Want a neighborhood view? Ask the travel advisor for an Interior room with a neighborhood-facing window if one is available. Do not assume every Interior room has a window.

Ocean View stateroom example photo 1 Ocean View stateroom example photo 2 Ocean View stateroom example photo 3
ROOM EXAMPLE ONLY
Ocean Viewfrom $1,594.38 per guest

Natural light and an ocean view through a large fixed window. There is no balcony, and the window does not open.

Traditional Ocean View Balcony example photo 1 Traditional Ocean View Balcony example photo 2 Traditional Ocean View Balcony example photo 3 Traditional Ocean View Balcony example photo 4
ROOM EXAMPLE ONLY
Traditional Ocean View BalconyBalcony fares from $1,756.38 per guest

This is a true, separate outdoor balcony. You open the balcony door and physically step outside into a private exterior space with seating.

IMPORTANT: Do not assume every room described broadly as a “Balcony” is this type. Confirm the exact stateroom category before booking.
Infinite Ocean View Balcony example photo 1 Infinite Ocean View Balcony example photo 2 Infinite Ocean View Balcony example photo 3
ROOM EXAMPLE ONLY
Infinite Ocean View BalconyPrice varies by exact balcony category

THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL OUTDOOR BALCONY. The balcony area is built into the cabin. The upper portion of the exterior window lowers to create an open-air space.

VERY IMPORTANT: When the Infinite Balcony window is open, the cabin’s air conditioning turns off. If you want a completely separate outdoor balcony while the cabin remains enclosed and air-conditioned, choose a Traditional Ocean View Balcony and confirm that exact category before booking.

Infinite Balcony inventory was not available when the room options were last checked, but availability can change, so the room type is shown here so you know the difference if it appears later.

Suitefrom $2,930.38 per guest

Suites vary widely in size, layout, balcony style and included benefits. The exact suite you book may look very different from these examples, so confirm the specific suite category before booking.

ROOM PHOTOS ARE EXAMPLES ONLY. Your actual room, layout, furnishings, view, size and features may be different. Star of the Seas has multiple categories within these broad room types. Confirm the exact stateroom category and details with the travel advisor before booking.

Plan It Your Way ✨

Estimate Your Monthly Cruise Payment

Choose your room, the number of adults sharing your cabin, when you plan to book and how much you want to put down. The required minimum is $250 per person, due within 5 days of booking. Choose a larger deposit to see how it lowers your monthly payments. Shared-cabin prices are divided evenly among the adults in the cabin.

Estimated Cost Per Person
$1,229.47
Balance After Deposit
$979.47
Estimated Monthly Payment
$97.95
Balcony • 2 adults sharing • book in August 2026: $250.00 minimum deposit due within 5 days + estimated monthly payments per person.
💕 TRAVELING SOLO? HEADS UP!
A cabin booked by one adult is priced at essentially the full cabin rate, so solo pricing is roughly double the per-person double-occupancy rate. Sharing your cabin can significantly lower your individual cruise cost.
✨ ROOMMATE MATH IS MATHING.
Sharing with 3 or 4 adults can seriously lower your individual cruise cost. Grab your people and compare your options!
KEEPING IT SIMPLE ✨
Prices shown for shared cabins are divided evenly among the adults in the cabin. If your group decides on a different arrangement, you’re welcome to work that out amongst yourselves.
🥂 GROWN FOLKS ONLY
Carla’s Iconic 50th is an adults-only celebration. No children will be included in the trip plans or accommodations.

Planning tool only. The minimum deposit is $250 per person and is due within 5 days of booking. Choose any listed amount of $250 or more, or select a custom amount of at least $250, to see the effect on your monthly payment. Shared-cabin estimates divide the cabin total evenly among the selected number of adults. Current solo, 3-adult and 4-adult estimates use Royal Caribbean cabin totals checked for this sailing. Two-adult pricing uses the current planning estimate based on the 60%-off second-guest promotion. Actual cruise fares, taxes, fees and promotions may change until booked. The current minimum deposit for this group is $250 per person, due within 5 days of booking; reservations without the required deposit will be cancelled. Final payment deadline: July 27, 2027.
