Cabin 3545 · Independence of the Seas

Cabin 3545 is an Interior (category 3V/4V) on Independence of the Seas, 162 square feet, with no window. It sleeps up to 2.

Cabin 3545 is an Interior on Deck 3 of Independence of the Seas. You are forward 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. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are 3 cabins from the forward lift bank, port. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. The forward lift lobby. Independence of the Seas carries four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft, so few cabins sit more than half a corridor from one. These are conventional lifts, with call buttons in the lobby and deck buttons inside the car. 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 at the start and end of a port day. Quiet scores 3 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 89 cabin positions on Deck 3, this is the 11th from forward. You share Deck 3 with Royal Theater, Centrum, Studio B Ice Rink and Photo Gallery. There are 117 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

The Interior grade runs 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.

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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,932 cabins on board and steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them. 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.
