Cabin 9738 · Icon of the Seas

Cabin 9738 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Icon of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 80 to 161 square feet.

Cabin 9738 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Deck 9 of Icon of the Seas, well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

On the ship's plan The Lemon Post is two decks down, 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 comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 335th cabin position of 357 along Deck 9.

An Ocean View with Large Balcony gives you 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 80-161 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 livelier in a swell than most of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes, anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
