Cabin 3605 · Independence of the Seas

Cabin 3605 is an Interior (category 1V/2V) on Independence of the Seas, 162 square feet, with no window. Two twin beds convert to a Royal King. It sleeps up to 2. It connects to cabin 3607 through an interior door.

Cabin 3605 is an Interior on Deck 3 of Independence of the Seas, and it sits 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. 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 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

It is 3 cabins along the corridor to Photo Gallery. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Branded Focus. Digital photo kiosks, a print gallery and a small camera and duty free counter, staffed by the ship's photographers. It moved here from deck 4 in the 2018 amplification. Worth knowing: browsing is free, prints cost extra, and the kiosks are reachable at any hour. It makes no noise of its own but sits on the walk between the theatre and the dining room, and it fills up on the last two nights. Quiet scores 4 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 36th cabin position of 89 along Deck 3. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 3 also has Royal Theater, Centrum, Studio B Ice Rink and Photo Gallery on it. There are 117 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. 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 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.
