Cabin 13230 · Spectrum of the Seas

Cabin 13230 sits on Deck 13 of Spectrum of the Seas. You are midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

Nothing sits close by: it is 9 cabins to the aft lift bank, port, the nearest thing of its kind. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Spectrum runs four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft. Conventional lifts with call buttons in the lobby and deck buttons in the car. The suite enclave on decks 13 to 16 also has its own private lift. Worth knowing: the cars are quiet, the lobby is not. A cabin beside one hears doors, waiting conversation and footfall in the corridor, heaviest when a show lets out and after the late dinner seating. Quiet scores 3 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 67th cabin position of 132 along Deck 13. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 13 also has Whirlpool, Solarium and Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center on it. There are 178 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,142 cabins on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
