Cabin 11354 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 11354 is an Extended Balcony (category 8J1) on Mardi Gras, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 square feet.

Cabin 11354 is an Extended Balcony on Deck 11 of Mardi Gras, midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 8 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, 6 out of 10.

Of the 200 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 96th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Extended Balcony grade runs 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 60 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 steadier in a swell than 85 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 89 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
