Cabin 8264 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 8264 is an Ocean View Balcony on Oasis of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 8264 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Oasis of the Seas. You are aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are all but on top of the aft lift bank, port, about 1 cabin away. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. Oasis of the Seas carries four lift banks on most decks, forward and aft, port and starboard. Each is a glass fronted lobby with call buttons, deck buttons and a landing that doubles as a meeting point. The forward banks serve the theatre and the suite decks, the aft banks serve the dining rooms and the Boardwalk. Worth knowing: the cars themselves are quiet. The lobby is not. What a cabin beside a lift bank actually hears is people waiting, talking and calling to each other, and it peaks at dinner sittings and again after the late show. Two or three cabins along the corridor is. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 106th cabin position of 176 along Deck 8. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 8 also has Giovanni's Table, John Hardy, Vintages and Park Cafe on it. There are 328 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

An Ocean View Balcony gives you 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 42-55 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.

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 2,836 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 87 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.
