Cabin 16288 · Carnival Jubilee

Cabin 16288 is a Balcony (category 8G) on Carnival Jubilee.

Cabin 16288 is a Balcony on Deck 16 of Carnival Jubilee. You are forward of midship. 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. 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.

It is 8 cabins along the corridor to BlueIguana Cantina. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 61st cabin position of 64 along Deck 16. Deck 16 also has Bridge, Lido Marketplace, Tides Pool and Big Chicken on it. There are 89 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

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 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
