Cabin 6216 · Independence of the Seas

Cabin 6216 is a Spacious Ocean View Balcony (category 3B/4B) on Independence of the Seas, 207 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 square feet. It sleeps up to 2.

Cabin 6216 is a Spacious Ocean View Balcony on Deck 6 of Independence of the Seas, far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Royal Theater sits two decks down, 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, 7 out of 10.

Of the 227 cabin positions on Deck 6, this is the 24th from forward.

The Spacious Ocean View Balcony grade runs 207 square feet. The balcony adds another 42 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

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.

It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
