Cabin 9733 · Star of the Seas

Cabin 9733 is a Surfside Family View Balcony on Star of the Seas.

Cabin 9733 is a Surfside Family View Balcony on Deck 9 of Star of the Seas, well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

Surfside Bites sits two decks down, roughly 1 cabin 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 it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 357 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 328th from forward.

It is booked as a Surfside Family 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 livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes, anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
