Cabin 10697 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 10697 is a Boardwalk View Balcony on Oasis of the Seas, 182 to 193 square feet plus a private balcony of 47 to 52 square feet.

Cabin 10697 is a Boardwalk View Balcony on Deck 10 of Oasis 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Card Room sits on the deck above, roughly 3 cabins along the ship 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 scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Of the 177 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 132nd from forward.

The Boardwalk View Balcony grade runs 182-193 square feet. The balcony adds another 47-52 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,836 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 96 per cent of them. It suits families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
