Cabin 17024 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 17024 sits on Deck 17 of Star of the Seas. You are far forward. 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 are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 5 cabins along the corridor to Coastal Kitchen. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. The suite guests restaurant, forward on decks 16 and 17. Table service breakfast, lunch and dinner, included for Sky Class and above. Worth knowing: access is by cabin category, not by booking. Deck 16 is the main level and deck 17 the quieter upper one. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 1st cabin position of 17 along Deck 17. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. Deck 17 also has Lime and Coconut, Coastal Kitchen, Cloud 17 Pool and Sports Court on it. There are 22 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

Against the rest of the ship it is livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes, anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
