Cabin 9704 · Symphony of the Seas

Cabin 9704 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 9704 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Symphony of the Seas, and it sits 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 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Nothing sits close by: it is 10 cabins to Dazzles, the nearest thing of its kind. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. 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 comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 195th cabin position of 233 along Deck 9. 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 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.

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.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
