Cabin 12218 · Carnival Panorama

Cabin 12218 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8S1) on Carnival Panorama, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 12218 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 12 of Carnival Panorama, and it sits forward of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 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 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 9th cabin position of 10 along Deck 12. 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 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
