Cabin 4242 · Icon of the Seas

Cabin 4242 is an Ocean View on Icon of the Seas, 179 to 182 square feet.

Cabin 4242 is an Ocean View on Deck 4 of Icon of the Seas, and it sits 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. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

Guest Services 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 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 109 cabin positions on Deck 4, this is the 84th from forward.

The Ocean View grade runs 179-182 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.

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 2,814 cabins on board, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 98 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.
