Cabin 10240 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 10240 is a Junior Balcony (category 7X1) on Mardi Gras, 172 square feet plus a private balcony of 44 square feet.

Cabin 10240 is a Junior Balcony on Deck 10 of Mardi Gras. You are far forward. 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 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

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.

Of the 157 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 16th from forward.

The Junior Balcony grade runs 172 square feet. The balcony adds another 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 and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
