Cabin 10206 · Carnival Panorama

Cabin 10206 is a Balcony (category 8E1) on Carnival Panorama, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 10206 is a Balcony on Deck 10, the Lido deck, of Carnival Panorama, far forward. 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 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 3rd cabin position of 39 along Deck 10. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

A Balcony gives you 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,992 cabins 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.
