Cabin 16038 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 16038 is a Grand Suite on Star of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 16038 is a Grand Suite on Deck 16 of Star of the Seas, and it sits forward of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are right beside Suite Lounge, some 1 cabin along the corridor. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. The Suite Lounge on deck 17, the private lounge for suite guests. Worth knowing: quiet, with a pianist some evenings. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 12th cabin position of 18 along Deck 16. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 16 also has Lime and Coconut Frozen Bar, Adrenaline Peak, Crown's Edge and Coastal Kitchen on it. There are 22 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

It is booked as a Grand 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,813 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 98 per cent of them. It suits families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
