Best Cabins on Independance of the Seas?

[nbturfman]

Are there balcony cabins on this ship that are preferable to some others? We have not sailed Royal before and are taking the kids in December on the Independance. Seems like most ships have some rooms that are bigger better like hump cabins on Solstice class ships.:D I did a search but couldnt seem to find what i was looking for. Thanks for any help suggestions

For us on the Indy it's the aft cabins. D1's right at the back. Bigger balconies and beautiful view of the wake. As long as you don't mind the walk that is!!

On this class of ship, only the aft cabins have larger balconies....the "hump" balconies are the same size as any on the side of the ship. None of the cabins are larger than another of the same class.

I agree! If you can snag one, the corner aft cabins on Deck 7 offer enormous balcony space and a porthole. There are even two lounge chairs. :D

For balcony cabins I would say deck 10 right at the back , either 1400 or 1700 those balcony cabins are a similar size to a junior suite , quite sought after .

Yup, 1400 and 1700 are HUGE rooms with enormous balconies. Very hard to come by.

Usually we book 1702 but tomorrow we board the Liberty and head to cabin 1400.:D

DH prefers less superstructure but I have always wanted to see the inside of this cabin. We booked this cruise much later than normal and 1400 was the best available choice.

Just happy to be celebrating another Birthday on a cruise.

if you are 5 the Family Promenade Stateroom Interiors are 300 Sq Ft and overlook the Promenade..

We've always preferred Aft Balcony staterooms whenever possible. That being said, any cabin that we're in we're happy with --- because even the worst cabin on a cruise ship is better than the best room at the office while at work.

Grabbed 1406 Aft JS on deck 10 for my cruise next month. Sounds like it may be a good one. :D

We had 1706 on the Freedom (a sister ship) ... excellent cabin, incredible balcony, and the view of the wake is incredible.

You'll love it :D After an hour or two, you won't even notice the pole at the corner of the bed. And the structure on the balcony is quickly forgotten when you see the....well, you already know what the view is like back there. Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks Folks!

9568 on the Indy had a sewerage backup. Not fun. We're on that ship again in Oct. We are not anywhere near that cabin.

Hi all

 

 

After reading these tips I have managed to book cabin 1400 on IOS for my next years cruise.

 

I normally tend to opt for port side though (1700 was gone!)

Any ideas on how much sun it will get also if it will be a good side for the ports, we are sailing from Southamton to Gibralter, Cartegena, Barcelona, Majorca, Seville and Vigo?????

 

 

Thanks for any help

I never understood people who book cruises so far out. I figured the anticipation would kill me.

 

But you get to pick really cool rooms, so there's a perk!

So the corner aft's on 10 and 7. What about 9 and 8??

Deck 8 & 9 corner afts are Category E2. Deck 10 gets you the much wider room/balcony and is well worth booking early despite the potentially fatal anticipation :p
