Cabin 10540 · Allure of the Seas

Cabin 10540 is an Ocean View Balcony on Allure of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 10540 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 10 of Allure of the Seas, and it sits far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the forward lift bank, and that is 15 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. The forward lift bank on deck 10. Worth knowing: deck 10 carries no public rooms at all, so both its lobbies serve cabins only. These are among the quietest lifts on the ship. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 171 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 20th from forward.

The Ocean View Balcony grade runs 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 42-55 on top of that. 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 as quiet as anything on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 88 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
