Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas have 28 different stateroom categories across 20 decks, and more than half of them are brand-new cabin designs that do not exist on Oasis Class ships like Wonder of the Seas or Utopia of the Seas! Before you lock in your cabin on Icon or Star of the Seas for 2026 or 2027, you need to know how the Infinite Ocean View Balcony actually works (including the automatic air conditioning shutoff switch), which family cabins include a split bathroom and private kids bunk alcove, and how to unlock Sky Class suite privileges (Coastal Kitchen, The Grove sun deck, and free Voom Wi-Fi) at the lowest price on the ship. In this video, we break down the 7 best cabins to book on Icon and Star of the Seas (Family Infinite Ocean View Balcony, Ocean View Large Balcony, Spacious Interior Plus, Deck 14 Forward Panoramic Ocean View, Surfside Family Suite, Sunset Junior Suite, and the two-story Icon Loft Suite) and the 3 cabin categories and deck locations you should avoid!
