Cabin 17242 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 17242 is a Cloud 9 Spa Interior (category 4T1) on Mardi Gras, 158 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 17242 is a Cloud 9 Spa Interior on Deck 17 of Mardi Gras, and it sits 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. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Serenity sits on the deck above, roughly 32 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. 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 60 cabin positions on Deck 17, this is the 27th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Cloud 9 Spa Interior grade runs 158-185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
