Cabin 12314 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 12314 is a Connecting Ocean View Balcony on Star of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 12314 is a Connecting Ocean View Balcony on Deck 12 of Star of the Seas, well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the aft lift bank, and that is 16 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 12. 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 311 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 243rd from forward. You share Deck 12 with Vitality Spa. There are 349 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

The Connecting Ocean View Balcony grade runs 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.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
