Star Records

It was a fun theme and vibe in the room. It is definitely suited for 6-8 people, but they want to take more money with 12 people. I enjoyed the puzzles and would have enjoyed solving them on our own. Instead the staff was present in the room and was telling us what to do the entire time. They'd literally take fake pieces out of our hands and tell us they're not needed in the puzzle, assigning us positions for a puzzle, or tell us we can't work on certain puzzles yet. None of this was prompted, we got out in 25 min, we did not need the help. They also reset the puzzles immediately after we solved them which was confusing and not helpful. It literally caused problems when we had to refer back to previous solutions and they weren't there. If the staff just observed, I feel this could be a fun room with interesting puzzles.

Fun game, 12 folks in there but enough to stay engaged.

This is a shared experience for up to 12 year people on Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. I think an ideal number would be closer to 6-8 people, as it’s just one room that can feel crowded. This was my favorite of the two escape rooms onboard the ship. Uniquely, the game master sits in the corner of the room for both experiences onboard and thankfully ours was amazing for this room. She was very helpful and encouraging without inserting herself too much. The theming of the room is solid and there are some challenging puzzles that require solid communication and team work. I would recommend this room if you have a combo of enthusiasts and newbies vs the other room.

This was a good room, it flowed well and the puzzles made sense, nothing broken, would recommend. The only downside is that the size and puzzles are suited for about 6 people max and the cruise line books 12 (presumably so they can get double the money), but it would be much better with only 6 people.
