Cabin 8696 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Legend of the Seas, aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are right beside Dry Slide, some 0 cabins along the corridor. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. A dry slide dropping between decks, built as a shortcut and an attraction at the same time, one of the pair Royal fits to this class. Worth knowing: short bursts of noise through the day rather than a steady level. The landing end is the loud end. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 217th cabin position of 290 along Deck 8. Deck 8 also has Izumi in the Park, Central Park, Hollywood Land Supper Club and Chops Grille on it. There are 315 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 2,811 cabins on board. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
