Cabin 12289 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 12289 is a Balcony (category 8D) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 12289 is a Balcony on Deck 12 of Carnival Celebration, and it sits far forward. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is two decks up, about 8 cabins along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. 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 19th cabin position of 202 along Deck 12.

It is booked as a Balcony. 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 79 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
