Best and worst cabins on Independence of the Seas

Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Independence of the Seas, worked out where each of the 1,932 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.

Independence of the Seas is a Freedom class ship, about 154,407 gross tons, carrying around 3,634 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2008. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 2 to deck 12. The deck plan legend colours them as 793 interior, 724 balcony, 289 ocean view, 126 suite.

On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is 2417 on deck 2 (Interior), and the one that should move most is 1890 on deck 12 (Ocean view). Every other cabin on Independence of the Seas falls between the two.

The steadiest cabins

Closest to the ship's pivot point. If you are prone to seasickness, start here.

The cabins that move most

High up and close to an end. Fine for most people, worth avoiding if you are not.

The largest cabins

By floor area on the plan, against the median cabin on this ship. Suites will dominate, which is the point: this is where the space is.

Deck by deck
