Cabin 8357 · Carnival Firenze

Cabin 8357 is a Balcony (category 8D1) on Carnival Firenze, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8357 is a Balcony on Deck 8 of Carnival Firenze, midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 212 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 107th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 79 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.
