Cabin 8294 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 8294 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 8294 is a Connecting Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Star of the Seas. You are aft of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Dry Slide is immediately nearby, about 2 cabins away. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. A dry slide dropping between decks, built as a shortcut and an attraction at the same time, one of the pair Royal fits to this class. Worth knowing: short bursts of noise through the day rather than a steady level. The landing end is the loud end. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 290 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 216th from forward. You share Deck 8 with Izumi in the Park, Lincoln Park Supper Club, Central Park and Chops Grille. There are 315 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.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,813 cabins on board. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
