Cabin 4217 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 4217 is an Ocean View (category 6A) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 4217 is an Ocean View on Deck 4 of Carnival Celebration, 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. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

Spa Treatment Rooms sits on the deck above, roughly 12 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. 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 148 cabin positions on Deck 4, this is the 2nd from forward. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. You share Deck 4 with Family Harbor Lounge, Camp Ocean and Dr. Seuss Bookville. There are 259 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

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, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
