Cabin 7688 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 7688 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 7688 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 7 of Star of the Seas. You are aft 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.

Surfside Eatery is immediately nearby, about 1 cabin away. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. The Surfside buffet, aft on deck 7, built around what small children will actually eat. Included in your fare and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Worth knowing: lower counters and smaller plates than the Windjammer, and the tables are close to Playscape so you can eat within sight of them. Quiet scores 3 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 256 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 204th 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 and 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.
