Cabin 9345 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 9345 is an Extended Balcony (category 8J1) on Mardi Gras, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 square feet.

Cabin 9345 is an Extended Balcony on Deck 9 of Mardi Gras. You are 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.

Mardi Gras Theater sits two decks down, roughly 2 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 218 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 86th from forward.

The Extended Balcony grade runs 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 60 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 2,638 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 85 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
