Cabin 12230 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 12230 is an Ocean View Balcony on Star of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 12230 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 12 of Star of the Seas, and it sits midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 126th cabin position of 311 along Deck 12. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 12 also has Vitality Spa on it. There are 349 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

An Ocean View Balcony gives you 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 42-55 on top of that. 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,813 cabins on board, 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.
