Cabin 9700 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 9700 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 9700 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Oasis of the Seas, aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is Music Hall, and that is 9 cabins away down the corridor. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. A two deck live music venue on decks 3 and 4, with a raised stage, a bar on each level, a dance floor below and self levelling billiard tables above. Live bands, tribute acts, karaoke and themed nights. Worth knowing: the loudest thing on the low decks. A full PA, drums and bass, plus the crack of billiard balls upstairs, running from about 8pm until well past midnight. The exposed cabins are the deck 3 oceanviews outboard of it. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 229 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 190th from forward. You share Deck 9 with Music Hall. There are 393 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.

It suits families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
