Cabin 5242A · Valiant Lady

Cabin 5242A is a The Sea View on Deck 5 of Valiant Lady. You are 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. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is Redemption Spa, and that is 12 cabins away down the corridor. Quiet, at the cost of a few minutes each way. Spa. Quiet comes out at 6 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 84 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 57th from forward. You share Deck 5 with Redemption Spa, Sailor Services, Ariya by Razzle Dazzle and Pink Agave. There are 93 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

The The Sea View grade runs 189.5-288 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,408 cabins on board and steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
