Cabin 10324 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 10324 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Mardi Gras, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 10324 is a Balcony on Deck 10 of Mardi Gras, and it sits 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.

We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Of the 157 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 56th 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 steadier in a swell than 85 per cent of them and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers, travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
