Cabin 8210 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 8210 is a Havana Extended Cabana (category HG1) on Mardi Gras, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 100 to 160 square feet.

Cabin 8210 is a Havana Extended Cabana on Deck 8 of Mardi Gras. You are far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

Mardi Gras Theater sits two decks down, roughly 31 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 1 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 62 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 6th from forward.

The Havana Extended Cabana grade runs 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 100-160 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 as quiet as anything on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
