Cabin 4397 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 4397 is an Ocean View (category 6A1) on Mardi Gras, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 4397 is an Ocean View on Deck 4 of Mardi Gras, 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 near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan Punchliner Comedy Club 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 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 82nd cabin position of 142 along Deck 4. 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,638 cabins on board, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 83 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
