Cabin 7240 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 7240 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 7240 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 7 of Star of the Seas, and it sits midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

You are 6 cabins from The Pearl. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Star's central sculpture, a faceted sphere rising through decks 5 to 8 at the aft end of the Royal Promenade, with a spiral stair winding up inside it. Lit from within and colour changing through the evening. Worth knowing: it is the landmark people give directions by. If someone says meet me at The Pearl, this is what they mean, and every deck from 5 to 8 opens onto it. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 256 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 164th from forward. You share Deck 7 with Surfside Eatery, Sugar Beach, Pearl and Water's Edge Pool. There are 305 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

The 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.

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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,813 cabins on board, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 80 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
