Cabin 4257 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 4257 is an Ocean View (category 6A1) on Mardi Gras, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 4257 is an Ocean View on Deck 4 of Mardi Gras, 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 will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Mardi Gras Theater is two decks up, about 1 cabin along from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 25th cabin position of 142 along Deck 4.

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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,638 cabins on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
