Cabin 12297 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 12297 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 12297 is a Boardwalk View Balcony on Deck 12 of Oasis 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.

It is 4 cabins along the corridor to Card Room. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. A quiet room set aside for cards, board games and puzzles, next to the library end of the ship. Worth knowing: one of the quietest public rooms on the ship, and a genuine asset for a cabin nearby rather than a liability. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it scores 10 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 142nd cabin position of 187 along Deck 12. Deck 12 also has Card Room on it. There are 326 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

A Boardwalk View Balcony gives you 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.

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 steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
