Cabin 9702 · Oasis of the Seas

Cabin 9702 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 9702 is an Ocean View Balcony on Deck 9 of Oasis of the Seas, aft of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is Music Hall, and that is 10 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 193rd 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.

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.

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.
