Cabin 2356 · Carnival Valor

Cabin 2356 is an Ocean View (category 6C1) on Carnival Valor, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 2356 is an Ocean View on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Valor. You are 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. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is on the deck above, about 4 cabins along 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.

Counting from the bow, it is the 65th cabin position of 138 along Deck 2. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

An Ocean View gives you 158-243 square feet. 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, steadier in a swell than 98 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 80 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.
