Cabin 8296 · Carnival Firenze

Cabin 8296 is a Balcony (category 8D1) on Carnival Firenze, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8296 is a Balcony on Deck 8 of Carnival Firenze, and it sits forward of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 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 it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 75th cabin position of 212 along Deck 8.

A Balcony gives you 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 steadier in a swell than 84 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.
