Counting from the bow, it is the 96th cabin position of 233 along Deck 9. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 9 also has Dazzles on it. There are 394 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

An Ocean View with Large Balcony gives you 195 square feet. The balcony adds another 39 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.

On loyalty, this is a standard grade, so Crown and Anchor credits its base one cruise point a night. There are exactly two ways to double that: move up to a suite, or sail on your own on a double occupancy fare. Either pays two a night, and doing both pays three.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 87 per cent of them. 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.
