Cabin 17020 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 17020 is an Icon Loft Suite on Star of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 17020 is an Icon Loft Suite on Deck 18 of Star of the Seas, and it sits forward of midship. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan the forward lift bank is on the deck below, about 2 cabins along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 5th cabin position of 8 along Deck 18. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 18 also has Grove Suite Sun Deck, Grove and Whirlpool on it. There are 8 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

It is booked as an Icon Loft 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.

Grade changes what you earn here, which is easy to miss. Crown and Anchor pays one cruise point a night in a standard room and two a night in a suite, so a seven night sailing out of this cabin banks fourteen points rather than seven. Sail it on your own on a double occupancy fare and it is three a night, twenty one for the week. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is 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.
