Cabin 5189 · Carnival Legend

Cabin 5189 is a Balcony (Obstructed View) (category 7A1) on Carnival Legend, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 5189 is a Balcony (Obstructed View) on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Legend, midship. 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.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is two decks down, about 1 cabin 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 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Counting from the bow, it is the 44th cabin position of 86 along Deck 5. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

A Balcony (Obstructed View) gives you 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 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 steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers, travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
