Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas is one of the largest and most innovative ships at sea — and while it’s packed with high-energy thrills, live shows, and family fun, it also has a few hidden gems that offer peace, quiet, and maybe even your new favorite view.
Whether you’re an introvert looking for a moment of calm or just want to beat the crowds, here are the best secret spots and quiet corners on Star of the Seas you’ll want to find early in your sailing:
1. The Hideaway Lounge Chairs (Deck Overlooks)
On certain upper decks, especially near the back of the ship, you’ll find quiet nooks with padded loungers overlooking the wake. These areas are often unmarked and go unnoticed by most guests — but they’re perfect for:
- Afternoon reading
- Ocean-gazing
- Naps in the sea breeze
2. Central Park Nooks
Yes, Star of the Seas has a real, living park onboard!
- A quiet coffee in the morning
- A peaceful escape from the pool deck
- A romantic evening stroll
3. Vitality Café & Spa Waiting Areas
Located near the Vitality at Sea Spa, this tucked-away café serves healthy snacks, smoothies, and infused water — and it’s often much quieter than the Windjammer or Promenade.
Even if you don’t have a spa appointment, it’s a lovely spot to unwind, journal, or sip something cool and calm.
4. Pre-Show Seating at the AquaTheater (Off-Peak Times)
Not exactly secret, but surprisingly quiet if you go early.
Grab a seat well before showtime and enjoy a calm moment before the crowds arrive.
5. Art Gallery Alcoves & Hallway Galleries
Throughout the ship you’ll find small art displays, tucked into quiet corridors and stairwell landings. These spaces often have seating or are quiet by design — perfect for decompressing between activities or taking a break from the buzz.
6. Morning Peace on the Jogging Track
Not just for runners! The jogging track is a surprisingly peaceful place in the early morning.
Walk a few laps, find a quiet bench along the way, and start your day with some sea air and perspective.
7. Your Own Private Balcony (If You Have One)
Sometimes the best secret spot… is your own.
Pro tip: Bring a small Bluetooth speaker for ambient music, a favorite book, and a cozy blanket for evening sea breezes.
You’ll never regret booking a balcony stateroom for those moments of calm with coffee, sunrise, or stars.
8. The Overlook Nestled
in the AquaDome, The Overlook features two levels of sweeping floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the space, creating a breathtaking panorama of the ocean.
It has a chic, modern vibe—an ideal spot to relax in comfort while staying connected to the beauty outside.
The Bottom Line
While Star of the Seas is packed with entertainment, adventure, and action, it also offers plenty of pockets of peace — if you know where to look.
So whether you’re recharging solo, escaping the midday rush, or seeking a scenic spot to reflect, keep this list handy and explore early before the ship fills with curious cruisers. When you are ready to book your next vacation, reach out to All In Vacay.
