Cabin 1706 · Allure of the Seas

Cabin 1706 is a Crown Loft Suite on Allure of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 1706 is a Crown Loft Suite on Deck 17 of Allure of the Seas, and it sits 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. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 3 cabins along the corridor to the aft lift bank. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. The aft lift bank on deck 17, between Coastal Kitchen and the Suite Lounge. Worth knowing: the only lobby on deck 17 that sees regular use, and even then only at meal times. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 8th cabin position of 21 along Deck 17. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 17 also has Bar, Coastal Kitchen and Suite Lounge on it. There are 30 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

It is booked as a Crown Loft Suite. At suite level you are buying more than square feet. Suites almost always carry priority boarding and priority disembarkation, and the higher grades on most lines add a restaurant, a lounge or a sun deck of their own. Junior and entry level suites often get none of that, so it is worth checking what this particular grade includes rather than assuming the whole list comes with the word.

There is a loyalty argument for this room as well as a comfort one. Crown and Anchor counts a suite night as two cruise points against one for a standard room, so the same week aboard moves you up the tiers twice as fast. Book it solo at the double occupancy fare and it counts three a night. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
