Star Of The Seas cabins and suites

Of all Star of the Seas staterooms (2805 total, in 39 grades), ~70% are with balconies and over 50% are new to Royal Caribbean. Wheelchair-accessible cabins are 50.

Besides the 22x lifts/elevators (positioned in the forward and aft atriums) and all staircases, an escalator interconnects decks 2-4-5.

All Star OTS cabins provide as standard/complimentary amenities 2 twin beds (convertible to Royal King-size double bed), ample closet/drawer space, en-suite bathroom (WC-toilet, shower, single-sink vanity, hairdryer, bath products), sitting area (mirrored desk/vanity, drawers, couch/convertible sofabed), smart HDTV (infotainment system, Internet, on-demand-movies), direct-dial phone, electronic safe box and lifejackets (in the closet), minibar, 24-hour room service (5-12 am /complimentary), European and US/UK electrical outlets, USB charging points, individual air-conditioning, mood lighting.

Star OTS' air-conditioning system features a computer-controlled climate control (in all passenger staterooms) to save energy while the accommodations are not occupied. When guests leave their cabin and all of them disembark/go ashore (in call ports), the computer detects (via scanning their SeaPass cards upon debarkation) when they've left the ship and switches the cabin's air-conditioning into eco mode. When the passenger reboards the ship and scans his/her SeaPass card, the computer turns off the eco mode and turns on the system's previous setting.

All balcony staterooms are with floor-ceiling sliding glass doors opening to a private step-out veranda.
