Cabin 14245 · Carnival Vista

Cabin 14245 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8T1) on Carnival Vista, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 14245 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 14 of Carnival Vista, well aft. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 2 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

On the ship's plan Serenity is on the deck above, about 1 cabin along from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 4th cabin position of 4 along Deck 14. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

A Cloud 9 Spa Balcony gives you 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-44 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,953 cabins on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
