Cabin 5301 · Carnival Radiance

Cabin 5301 is an Ocean View (category 6D1) on Carnival Radiance, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 5301 is an Ocean View on Deck 5, the Promenade deck, of Carnival Radiance. You are well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan JavaBlue Cafe is on the deck below, about 16 cabins 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 1st cabin position of 32 along Deck 5. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

An Ocean View gives you 158-243 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 as quiet as anything on board and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
