Cabin 8249 · Carnival Sunrise

Cabin 8249 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Carnival Sunrise, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8249 is a Balcony on Deck 8, the Verandah deck, of Carnival Sunrise, and it sits far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 114 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 21st 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 as quiet as anything on board and better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
