Cabin 1005 · Carnival Sunrise

Cabin 1005 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8P1) on Carnival Sunrise, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 1005 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 10, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Sunrise, and it sits 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. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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.

On the ship's plan Circle C is two decks up, about 11 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 1 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 3rd cabin position of 25 along Deck 10. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

A Cloud 9 Spa Balcony gives you 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-44 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.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. 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.
