Cabin 8704 · Symphony of the Seas

Cabin 8704 is an Ocean View Balcony on Symphony of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 42 to 55 square feet.

Cabin 8704 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 8 of Symphony of the Seas, aft of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is Bar, and that is 11 cabins away down the corridor. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. A bar at the aft end of Central Park. Worth knowing: moderate. The park closes down early compared with the Boardwalk. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 179 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 140th from forward. You share Deck 8 with Central Park, Vintages, Central Park Retail and Bar. There are 329 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

The Ocean View Balcony grade runs 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 quieter than 87 per cent of the 2,798 cabins on board and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers.
