Cabin 5263 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 5263 is a Cloud 9 Spa Interior (category 4S1) on Mardi Gras, 158 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 5263 is a Cloud 9 Spa Interior on Deck 5 of Mardi Gras, 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 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

Cloud 9 Spa sits on the deck above, roughly 10 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 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 128 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 29th from forward.

The Cloud 9 Spa Interior grade runs 158-185 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 as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
