Cabin 5222 · Carnival Firenze

Cabin 5222 is a Terrazza Interior (category TA1) on Carnival Firenze, 170 square feet.

Cabin 5222 is a Terrazza Interior on Deck 5 of Carnival Firenze, well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

The lift bank sits on the deck below, roughly 15 cabins along the ship 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 is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 34 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 16th 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 Terrazza Interior grade runs 170 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,003 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
