Cabin 11301 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 11301 is a Surfside Family Suite on Star of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 11301 is a Surfside Family Suite on Deck 11 of Star of the Seas, aft of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the aft lift bank, and that is 10 cabins away down the corridor. 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 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 318 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 250th from forward.

It is booked as a Surfside Family Suite. At suite level you are buying more than square feet. Suites almost always carry priority boarding and priority disembarkation, and the higher grades on most lines add a restaurant, a lounge or a sun deck of their own. Junior and entry level suites often get none of that, so it is worth checking what this particular grade includes rather than assuming the whole list comes with the word.

There is a loyalty argument for this room as well as a comfort one. Crown and Anchor counts a suite night as two cruise points against one for a standard room, so the same week aboard moves you up the tiers twice as fast. Book it solo at the double occupancy fare and it counts three a night. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 88 per cent of the 2,813 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 80 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
