Cabin 15229 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 15229 is a Junior Balcony (category 7Y1) on Mardi Gras, 172 square feet plus a private balcony of 44 square feet.

Cabin 15229 is a Junior Balcony on Deck 15 of Mardi Gras, far forward. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. 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 4 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 1 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 237 cabin positions on Deck 15, this is the 19th from forward.

The Junior Balcony grade runs 172 square feet. The balcony adds another 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 as quiet as anything on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. 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.
