Cabin 10286 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 10286 is a Balcony (category 8F1) on Carnival Magic, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 10286 is a Balcony on Deck 10, the Lido deck, of Carnival Magic, and it sits forward of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 7 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, 6 out of 10.

Of the 31 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 30th from forward. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

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 94 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
