Cabin 12434 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 12434 is a Balcony (category 8E1) on Mardi Gras, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 12434 is a Balcony on Deck 12 of Mardi Gras, and it sits aft of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. 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 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 225 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 171st from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 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. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
