Cabin 10483 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 10483 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Mardi Gras.

Cabin 10483 is a Balcony on Deck 10 of Mardi Gras, well aft. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 144th cabin position of 157 along Deck 10.

It is booked as a Balcony. 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 livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
