Cabin 10632 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 10632 sits on Deck 10 of Oasis of the Seas, and it sits midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

Nothing sits close by: it is 18 cabins to the aft lift bank, starboard, the nearest thing of its kind. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Oasis of the Seas carries four lift banks on most decks, forward and aft, port and starboard. Each is a glass fronted lobby with call buttons, deck buttons and a landing that doubles as a meeting point. The forward banks serve the theatre and the suite decks, the aft banks serve the dining rooms and the Boardwalk. Worth knowing: the cars themselves are quiet. The lobby is not. What a cabin beside a lift bank actually hears is people waiting, talking and calling to each other, and it peaks at dinner sittings and again after the late show. Two or three cabins along the corridor is. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 86th cabin position of 177 along Deck 10. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 93 per cent of the 2,836 cabins on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits light sleepers, travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
