Cabin 6284 · Carnival Valor

Cabin 6284 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Carnival Valor.

Cabin 6284 is a Balcony on Deck 6, the Upper deck, of Carnival Valor, forward of midship. 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 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Ivanhoe Theatre sits on the deck below, 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 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 173 cabin positions on Deck 6, this is the 46th 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 1,492 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 83 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 80 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
