Cabin 8174 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 8174 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Star of the Seas. You are forward of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 3 cabins along the corridor to Izumi in the Park. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. The Central Park outpost of Izumi, a counter for sushi and for taiyaki ice cream in bubble cones rather than a full restaurant. Worth knowing: open through the afternoon and evening. Central Park is the quietest neighbourhood on the ship and this counter does not change that. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 114th cabin position of 290 along Deck 8. Deck 8 also has Izumi in the Park, Lincoln Park Supper Club, Central Park and Chops Grille on it. There are 315 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.

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 steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 98 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
