Cabin 12499 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 12499 is a Balcony (category 8D) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 12499 is a Balcony on Deck 12 of Carnival Celebration, and it sits forward of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are practically next door to a stairwell, 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, 7 out of 10.

Of the 202 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 80th 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 94 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 91 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
