Cabin 12264 · Icon of the Seas

Cabin 12264 is an Ocean View Balcony on Icon of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 12264 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 12 of Icon of the Seas, aft of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the aft lift bank, and that is 9 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. The aft lift and stair lobby on deck 12. Icon uses destination control: you choose your deck at the panel outside and it tells you which car to take, so there are no buttons inside the cars. The lobby is also the main stair landing for this end of the ship. Worth knowing: destination control panels are outside the lift, not inside it. Cabins immediately beside a lobby hear doors and voices at every hour, and the lobbies are busiest just after a show finishes. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 311 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 176th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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.

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 as quiet as anything on board and steadier in a swell than 86 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
