Cabin 3557 · Freedom of the Seas

Cabin 3557 is an Interior (category 3V/4V) on Freedom of the Seas, 162 square feet, with no window. It sleeps up to 2.

Cabin 3557 is an Interior on Deck 3 of Freedom of the Seas, and it sits 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. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 7 cabins along the corridor to the forward lift bank, port. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Freedom carries four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft, so you are rarely 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. What a cabin beside one hears is doors, waiting conversation and footfall in the corridor, heaviest when a show lets out and after the late dinner seating. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 22nd cabin position of 88 along Deck 3. Deck 3 also has Studio B Ice Rink, Royal Theater, Main Dining Room and Art Gallery on it. There are 118 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

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.

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.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 88 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 96 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.
