Cabin 9580 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 9580 is a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony on Star of the Seas.

Cabin 9580 is a Spacious Infinite Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Star of the Seas, forward of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are practically next door to the forward lift bank, 2 cabins along. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. 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 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 357 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 117th from forward.

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.

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 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.
