Cabin 11507 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 11507 is an Aft-View Extended Balcony (category 8M1) on Mardi Gras, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 to 100 square feet.

Cabin 11507 is an Aft-View Extended Balcony on Deck 11 of Mardi Gras, well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. 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 2 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 197th cabin position of 200 along Deck 11.

An Aft-View Extended Balcony gives you 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 60-100 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, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 89 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
