Cabin 9668 · Allure of the Seas

Cabin 9668 is an Ocean View Balcony on Allure of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 9668 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Allure of the Seas. You are aft of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are practically next door to the aft lift bank, 2 cabins along. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. The aft lift bank on deck 9, beside the upper level of Dazzles. Worth knowing: the lifts closest to the ship's latest running lounge, which is the trade off for being aft on this deck. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 226 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 158th from forward. You share Deck 9 with Dazzles. There are 393 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

The Ocean View Balcony grade runs 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.

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 steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 88 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.
