Cabin 5258A · Scarlet Lady

Cabin 5258A is a The Sea View on Deck 5 of Scarlet Lady, 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan The Manor is on the deck above, about 1 cabin along 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 it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 45th cabin position of 84 along Deck 5. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 5 also has Redemption Spa, Sailor Services, Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle and Pink Agave on it. There are 93 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

A The Sea View gives you 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 1,396 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.

Scored by Cruise Ship Wiki using model v1.8, from the position of this cabin relative to every public space on the ship. Each part is out of 10.
