Cabin 8564 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 8564 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 8564 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Deck 8 of Star of the Seas, and it sits 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Lincoln Park Supper Club is immediately nearby, about 2 cabins away. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. Star's signature restaurant, an eight course American menu served in a 1930s Chicago supper club setting, with singers and a band performing between courses. Worth knowing: one long sitting of about three hours with live music throughout, so it finishes late. It is the hardest table on the ship to book. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 290 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 103rd 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 Ocean View with Large Balcony grade runs 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 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.
