Cabin 5480 · Carnival Jubilee

Cabin 5480 is a Cove Balcony (category 7C) on Carnival Jubilee.

Cabin 5480 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 5 of Carnival Jubilee, well aft. 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. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are 6 cabins from a stairwell. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. 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 164 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 150th from forward. You share Deck 5 with Spa Treatment Rooms, Thermal Suites, Cloud 9 Spa and Salon. There are 286 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

It is booked as a Cove Balcony. 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.

It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
