Cabin 5204 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 5204 is an Ocean View (category 6B) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 5204 is an Ocean View on Deck 5 of Carnival Celebration. You are 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.

Nothing sits close by: it is 12 cabins to Spa Treatment Rooms, the nearest thing of its kind. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. We give it 10 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 1st cabin position of 81 along Deck 5. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away. Deck 5 also has Spa Treatment Rooms, Thermal Suites, Cloud 9 Spa and Salon on it. There are 285 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

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 as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.

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.
