Cabin 9680 · Symphony of the Seas

Cabin 9680 is an Ocean View Balcony on Symphony of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 9680 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Symphony 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Dazzles is immediately nearby, about 2 cabins away. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. Dazzles, the two deck nightclub aft on deck 9. Worth knowing: dancing until the small hours, and the bass carries through the deck above and below. The single worst neighbour on this part of the ship. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 233 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 170th from forward. You share Deck 9 with Dazzles. There are 394 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.

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 2,798 cabins on board. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
