Cabin 8626 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 8626 is a Junior Suite on Oasis of the Seas, 250 to 287 square feet plus a private balcony of 65 to 161 square feet. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 8626 is a Junior Suite on Deck 8 of Oasis of the Seas, midship. 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.

Trellis Bar is immediately nearby, about 1 cabin away. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. Trellis Bar, the long bar running through the middle of Central Park. Worth knowing: live music some evenings, but restrained. The park is meant to be the calm neighbourhood. Quiet scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 176 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 87th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. You share Deck 8 with Giovanni's Table, John Hardy, Vintages and Park Cafe. There are 328 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

The Junior Suite grade runs 250-287 square feet. The balcony adds another 65-161 on top of that. At suite level you are buying more than square feet. Suites almost always carry priority boarding and priority disembarkation, and the higher grades on most lines add a restaurant, a lounge or a sun deck of their own. Junior and entry level suites often get none of that, so it is worth checking what this particular grade includes rather than assuming the whole list comes with the word.

There is a loyalty argument for this room as well as a comfort one. Crown and Anchor counts a suite night as two cruise points against one for a standard room, so the same week aboard moves you up the tiers twice as fast. Book it solo at the double occupancy fare and it counts three a night. 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 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.
