Cabin 12398 · Carnival Jubilee

Cabin 12398 is a Balcony (category 8E) on Carnival Jubilee.

Cabin 12398 is a Balcony on Deck 12 of Carnival Jubilee. You are midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are practically next door to the lift bank, 2 cabins along. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 140 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 79th 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.

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 steadier in a swell than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
