Cabin 11238 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 11238 is a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony on Star of the Seas.

Cabin 11238 is a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony on Deck 11 of Star of the Seas, and it sits midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Nothing sits close by: it is 24 cabins to the aft lift bank, the nearest thing of its kind. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. The aft lift and stair lobby on deck 11. Star uses destination control: you choose your deck at the panel outside and it tells you which car to take, so there are no buttons inside the cars. The lobby is also the main stair landing for this end of the ship. Worth knowing: destination control panels are outside the lift, not inside it. Cabins immediately beside a lobby hear doors and voices at every hour, and the lobbies are busiest just after a show finishes. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 183rd cabin position of 318 along Deck 11. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

It is booked as a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

On loyalty, this is a standard grade, so Crown and Anchor credits its base one cruise point a night. There are exactly two ways to double that: move up to a suite, or sail on your own on a double occupancy fare. Either pays two a night, and doing both pays three. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them and further from the action than most. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
