Cabin 5250M · Scarlet Lady

Cabin 5250M is a Social Insider on Deck 5 of Scarlet 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 Casino sits on the deck above, roughly 1 cabin 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. Quiet scores 4 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 84 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 50th 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. You share Deck 5 with Redemption Spa, Sailor Services, Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle and Pink Agave. There are 93 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

The Social Insider grade runs 177 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 1,396 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 96 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
