Cabin 16297 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 16297 is a Balcony (category 8G) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 16297 is a Balcony on Deck 16 of Carnival Celebration, and it sits 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 will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Tides Pool is immediately nearby, about 2 cabins away. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 40 cabin positions on Deck 16, this is the 40th from forward. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. You share Deck 16 with Bridge, Lido Marketplace, Tides Pool and Big Chicken. 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,681 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
