Cabin 12356 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 12356 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Star of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 80 to 161 square feet.

Cabin 12356 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Deck 12 of Star of the Seas, and it sits well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. 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 1 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

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 310th cabin position of 311 along Deck 12. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. 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 with Large Balcony gives you 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 80-161 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.

Worth knowing before you book: Crown and Anchor pays one cruise point a night at this grade. A suite pays two, and so does sailing solo on a double occupancy fare, which is the cheaper of the two routes if you are travelling alone anyway. 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, livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes, anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
