Cabin 2261 · Carnival Valor

Cabin 2261 is an Interior (category 4B1) on Carnival Valor, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 2261 is an Interior on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Valor, and it sits forward of midship. 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. 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.

A stairwell sits on the deck above, roughly 4 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, 6 out of 10.

Of the 138 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 23rd from forward.

The Interior grade runs 149-185 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 better placed for getting around than 97 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
