Cabin 9495 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 9495 is an Interior (category 4C1) on Mardi Gras, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 9495 is an Interior on Deck 9 of Mardi Gras, and it sits well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is two decks down, about 2 cabins along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 209th cabin position of 218 along Deck 9.

An Interior gives you 149-185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 98 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
