Cabin 5218 · Carnival Vista

Cabin 5218 is a Havana Interior (category HA1) on Carnival Vista, 185 square feet.

Cabin 5218 is a Havana Interior on Deck 5, the Promenade deck, of Carnival Vista, forward of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Liquid Lounge sits on the deck below, roughly 61 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 it is 1 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 8 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 4th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Havana Interior grade runs 185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board, steadier in a swell than 96 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 88 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
