Cabin 2678 · Independence of the Seas

Cabin 2678 is an Ocean View (category 3N/4N) on Independence of the Seas, 162 square feet, with a half-moon ocean view window. It sleeps up to 3. The bathroom has a shower.

Cabin 2678 is an Ocean View on Deck 2 of Independence of the Seas, and it sits well aft. 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 well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 2 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

Main Dining Room sits on the deck above, roughly 1 cabin 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 comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 146 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 145th from forward. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. You share Deck 2 with Conference Center. There are 173 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

The Ocean View grade runs 162 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

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 quiet as anything on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
