Cabin 1033 · Carnival Splendor

Cabin 1033 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8P1) on Carnival Splendor, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 1033 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 10, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Splendor. You are far forward. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Flotation Therapy sits two decks up, 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 45 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 16th from forward.

The Cloud 9 Spa Balcony grade runs 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-44 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 90 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
