Cabin 17270 · Carnival Jubilee

Cabin 17270 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8P) on Carnival Jubilee.

Cabin 17270 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 17 of Carnival Jubilee, 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are practically next door to a stairwell, 0 cabins along. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 68 cabin positions on Deck 17, this is the 56th from forward. You share Deck 17 with RedFrog Tiki Bar, Guy's Burger Joint, Warehouse and Circle C. There are 89 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,688 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 91 per cent of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
