Cabin 6331 · Carnival Valor

Cabin 6331 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Carnival Valor.

Cabin 6331 is a Balcony on Deck 6, the Upper deck, of Carnival Valor, midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Ivanhoe Theatre sits on the deck below, roughly 7 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. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 173 cabin positions on Deck 6, this is the 59th 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 and steadier in a swell than 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
