Cabin 9709 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 9709 is a Surfside Family Suite on Star of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 9709 is a Surfside Family Suite on Deck 9 of Star of the Seas, well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Dry Slide sits on the deck below, roughly 5 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 357 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 290th from forward.

It is booked as a Surfside Family 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.

There is a loyalty argument for this room as well as a comfort one. Crown and Anchor counts a suite night as two cruise points against one for a standard room, so the same week aboard moves you up the tiers twice as fast. Book it solo at the double occupancy fare and it counts three a night. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
