Cabin 17281 · Carnival Jubilee

Cabin 17281 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8P) on Carnival Jubilee.

Cabin 17281 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 17 of Carnival Jubilee, 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are all but on top of a stairwell, about 1 cabin away. 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 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 59th cabin position of 68 along Deck 17. Deck 17 also has RedFrog Tiki Bar, Guy's Burger Joint, Warehouse and Circle C on it. 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.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
