Cabin 11473 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 11473 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Mardi Gras, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 11473 is a Balcony on Deck 11 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 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 scores 10 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Of the 200 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 177th from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 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.
