Cabin 2243 · Carnival Radiance

Cabin 2243 is an Ocean View (category 6B) on Carnival Radiance.

Cabin 2243 is an Ocean View on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Radiance, and it sits far forward. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. 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.

A stairwell sits two decks up, roughly 2 cabins along the ship from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Of the 166 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 23rd from forward.

It is booked as an Ocean View. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board and better placed for getting around than 97 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
