Cabin 5225 · Carnival Pride

Cabin 5225 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Carnival Pride, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 5225 is a Balcony on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Pride, and it sits aft of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

The lift bank sits two decks down, roughly 7 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 10 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 94 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 61st from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 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 quiet as anything on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
