Cabin 17030 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 17030 is a Sky Junior Suite on Star of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 17030 is a Sky Junior Suite on Deck 17 of Star of the Seas, 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 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are 3 cabins from 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 scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 17 cabin positions on Deck 17, this is the 5th from forward. You share Deck 17 with Lime and Coconut, Coastal Kitchen, Cloud 17 Pool and Sports Court. There are 22 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

It is booked as a Sky Junior 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,813 cabins on board. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
