Cabin 1004 · Carnival Radiance

Cabin 1004 is a Cloud 9 Spa Interior (category 4S1) on Carnival Radiance, 158 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 1004 is a Cloud 9 Spa Interior on Deck 10, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Radiance, far forward. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

A stairwell sits two decks up, roughly 6 cabins along the ship from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 25 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 2nd from forward. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Cloud 9 Spa Interior grade runs 158-185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board and livelier in a swell than most of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
