Cabin 2322 · Carnival Firenze

Cabin 2322 is a Cove Balcony (category 7C1) on Carnival Firenze, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 44 to 45 square feet.

Cabin 2322 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 2 of Carnival Firenze, and it sits 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. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

The lift bank sits two decks up, roughly 1 cabin 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 it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 217 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 94th 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 Cove Balcony grade runs 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 44-45 on top of that. 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 as quiet as anything on board, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 93 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
