Cabin 5231 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 5231 is a Cloud 9 Spa Ocean View (Walkway View) (category 6S1) on Mardi Gras, 185 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 5231 is a Cloud 9 Spa Ocean View (Walkway View) on Deck 5 of Mardi Gras, and it sits forward of midship. 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. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Mardi Gras Theater sits on the deck above, roughly 9 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 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 128 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 27th from forward.

The Cloud 9 Spa Ocean View (Walkway View) grade runs 185-243 square feet. 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 steadier in a swell than 85 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.
