Cabin 14206 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 14206 is a Forward-View Extended Balcony (category 8L) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 14206 is a Forward-View Extended Balcony on Deck 14 of Carnival Celebration, far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

A stairwell sits on the deck above, roughly 4 cabins along the ship 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, 8 out of 10.

Of the 147 cabin positions on Deck 14, this is the 1st from forward. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

It is booked as a Forward-View Extended 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, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 98 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
