Cabin 9605 is an Interior (category 1V/2V) on Independence of the Seas, 162 square feet, with no window. Two twin beds convert to a Royal King. It sleeps up to 2. It connects to cabin 9607 through an interior door.

Cabin 9605 is an Interior on Deck 9 of Independence of the Seas, and it sits 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.

On the ship's plan Whirlpools is two decks up, about 1 cabin along from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet scores 4 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 103rd cabin position of 227 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.

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.

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. 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 1,932 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.
