Cabin 17237 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 17237 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8P) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 17237 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 17 of Carnival Celebration, far forward. 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. 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 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

Nothing sits close by: it is 12 cabins to a stairwell, the nearest thing of its kind. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 11th cabin position of 54 along Deck 17. Deck 17 also has RedFrog Tiki Bar, Guy's Burger Joint and Warehouse on it. There are 88 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

It is booked as a Cloud 9 Spa 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 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.
