Cabin 8671 · Independence of the Seas

Cabin 8671 is an Interior (category 3V/4V) on Independence of the Seas, 162 square feet, with no window. It sleeps up to 3.

Cabin 8671 is an Interior on Deck 8 of Independence of the Seas, well aft. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Nothing sits close by: it is 16 cabins to the aft lift bank, port, the nearest thing of its kind. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. The aft lift lobby. Independence of the Seas carries four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft, so few cabins sit 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. A cabin beside one hears doors, waiting conversation and footfall in the corridor, heaviest when a show lets out and at the start and end of a port day. Quiet comes out at 8 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 147th cabin position of 179 along Deck 8.

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 as quiet as anything on board and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
