Cabin 12262 · Odyssey of the Seas

Cabin 12262 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony (category B) on Odyssey of the Seas, 195 square feet plus a private balcony of 39 square feet.

Cabin 12262 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Deck 12 of Odyssey of the Seas, aft of midship. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the aft lift bank, port, and that is 9 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Odyssey runs four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft. Conventional lifts with call buttons in the lobby and deck buttons in the car. Worth knowing: the cars are quiet, the lobby is not. A cabin beside one hears doors, waiting conversation and footfall in the corridor, heaviest when a show lets out and after the late dinner seating. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 173 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 103rd from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. You share Deck 12 with Adventure Ocean. There are 246 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

The Ocean View with Large Balcony grade runs 195 square feet. The balcony adds another 39 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.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
