Cabin 5289 · Carnival Pride

Cabin 5289 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Carnival Pride.

Cabin 5289 is a Balcony on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Pride, and it sits well aft. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

Promenade Viaveneto Upper sits two decks down, 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 comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 94 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 91st from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 1,067 cabins on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
