Cabin 1122 · Carnival Sunrise

Cabin 1122 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8S1) on Carnival Sunrise, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 1122 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 11, the Spa deck, of Carnival Sunrise, and it sits 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 the lift bank is on the deck above, 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, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 13th cabin position of 13 along Deck 11. 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 better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
