Cabin 12524 · Spectrum of the Seas

Cabin 12524 is an Ocean View Balcony on Spectrum of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 12524 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 12 of Spectrum of the Seas, and it sits far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 5 cabins along the corridor to Adventure Ocean. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. The upper level of the kids complex, forward on deck 12. Sessions run 9 to 12, 2 to 5 and 7 to 10 on sea days, with late night party zone babysitting from 10pm to 2am. Worth knowing: same story as the level below. The noise is a hundred children moving through a corridor at changeover, not the rooms themselves. Quiet scores 4 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 1st cabin position of 171 along Deck 12. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. Deck 12 also has Adventure Ocean on it. There are 248 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

An Ocean View Balcony gives you 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.

On loyalty, this is a standard grade, so Crown and Anchor credits its base one cruise point a night. There are exactly two ways to double that: move up to a suite, or sail on your own on a double occupancy fare. Either pays two a night, and doing both pays three.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,142 cabins on board and livelier in a swell than most of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who feels motion badly.
