Cabin 9566 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 9566 is a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony on Star of the Seas.

Cabin 9566 is a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Star of the Seas, and it sits forward of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 8 cabins along the corridor to the forward lift bank. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. The forward lift and stair lobby on deck 9. Star uses destination control: you choose your deck at the panel outside and it tells you which car to take, so there are no buttons inside the cars. The lobby is also the main stair landing for this end of the ship. Worth knowing: destination control panels are outside the lift, not inside it. Cabins immediately beside a lobby hear doors and voices at every hour, and the lobbies are busiest just after a show finishes. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 101st cabin position of 357 along Deck 9.

It is booked as a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony. 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.

On loyalty, this is a standard grade, so Crown and Anchor credits its base one cruise point a night. There are exactly two ways to double that: move up to a suite, or sail on your own on a double occupancy fare. Either pays two a night, and doing both pays three. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 88 per cent of the 2,813 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 80 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
