Cabin 8740 · Icon of the Seas

Cabin 8740 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Icon of the Seas, 182 to 198 square feet plus a private balcony of 80 to 161 square feet.

Cabin 8740 is an Ocean View with Large Balcony on Deck 8 of Icon of the Seas, and it sits well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. 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 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

On the ship's plan The Lemon Post is on the deck below, about 3 cabins 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 scores 5 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 273rd cabin position of 290 along Deck 8. Deck 8 also has Empire Supper Club, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, Chops Grille and Trellis Bar on it. There are 315 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

An Ocean View with Large Balcony gives you 182-198 square feet. The balcony adds another 80-161 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 2,814 cabins on board and livelier in a swell than most of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who feels motion badly.
