Star of the Seas - Coming to Central Florida in August 2025! So what are the differences from the Icon to the Star? We LOVE that it is sailing from Cental Florida!!
The main difference between Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas and Icon of the Seas is that Star of the Seas will debut "Back to the Future: The Musical" while Icon features "The Wizard of Oz". Additionally, Star of the Seas will have a Chicago-inspired supper club, the Lincoln Park Supper Club, whereas Icon features an Empire Supper Club.

Here's a more detailed look at other key differences:
Homeport:Icon of the Seas sails from Miami, while Star of the Seas will sail from Port Canaveral (Orlando).
Kids Programming:Star of the Seas will have more tactile entertainment options for kids in its clubs, such as ping pong and foosball.
Dining:While both ships have the AquaDome Market, the Star of the Seas version will be a test kitchen for new dishes, and the ship has a greater number of dining venues, potentially 68+, compared to the 40+ on Icon.
Chief Dog Officer:Both ships have a golden retriever mascot, but they are different pups with their own personalities.
Other Minor Differences:Some potential minor differences include an additional hot tub, more included restaurants, and potentially Jamies replacing Giovanni's on the Star.
Overall Similarities:Despite these differences, the ships are largely identical.
