Cabin 12174A · Valiant Lady

Cabin 12174A is a Central Sea Terrace on Deck 12 of Valiant Lady, 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 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 129 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 66th 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 Central Sea Terrace grade runs 225.3 square feet. 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, steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
