Cabin 2623 · Freedom of the Seas

Cabin 2623 is an Interior (category 1V/2V) on Freedom of the Seas, 162 square feet, with no window. Two twin beds convert to a Royal King. It sleeps up to 2. This is an accessible stateroom.

Cabin 2623 is an Interior on Deck 2 of Freedom of the Seas, aft of midship. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 8 cabins along the corridor to the aft lift bank, port. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Freedom carries four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft, so you are rarely more than half a corridor from one. These are conventional lifts with call buttons in the lobby and deck buttons inside the car. Worth knowing: the cars are quiet. The lobby is not. What a cabin beside one hears is 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 it scores 10 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 87th cabin position of 157 along Deck 2. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 2 also has Studio B Ice Rink on it. There are 195 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

An Interior gives you 162 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

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 quieter than 76 per cent of the 1,963 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 88 per cent of them and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
