Cabin 10310 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 10310 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Mardi Gras, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 10310 is a Balcony on Deck 10 of Mardi Gras, forward of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 157 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 49th from forward.

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, 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.
