Cabin 2617 is an Interior on Deck 2 of Independence of the Seas. You are aft of midship. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan Photo Gallery is on the deck above, about 1 cabin along 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 comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 68th cabin position of 146 along Deck 2. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 2 also has Conference Center on it. There are 173 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

An Interior gives you 162 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

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 as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. 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.
