Cabin 8624 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Symphony of the Seas. You are midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

You are right beside Trellis Bar, some 1 cabin along the corridor. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. Trellis Bar, the long bar running through the middle of Central Park. Worth knowing: live music some evenings, but restrained. The park is meant to be the calm neighbourhood. Quiet scores 5 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 85th cabin position of 179 along Deck 8. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 8 also has Central Park, Vintages, Central Park Retail and Bar on it. There are 329 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

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.

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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,798 cabins on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
