Cabin 1072 · Carnival Radiance

Cabin 1072 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8P1) on Carnival Radiance, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 1072 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 10, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Radiance, forward of midship. 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. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is two decks up, about 1 cabin along 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 scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 25th cabin position of 25 along Deck 10. That puts you right at the aft 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 and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
