Cabin 8717 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 8717 is a Boardwalk View Balcony on Oasis of the Seas, 182 to 193 square feet plus a private balcony of 47 to 52 square feet.

Cabin 8717 is a Boardwalk View Balcony on Deck 8 of Oasis of the Seas, and it sits well aft. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Boardwalk Dog House is two decks down, about 1 cabin along 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 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 158th cabin position of 176 along Deck 8. 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.

A Boardwalk View Balcony gives you 182-193 square feet. The balcony adds another 47-52 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. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 93 per cent of the 2,836 cabins on board and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers.
