Cabin 1083 · Carnival Splendor

Cabin 1083 is an Interior Upper/Lower (category 1A1) on Carnival Splendor, 160 square feet.

Cabin 1083 is an Interior Upper/Lower on Deck 10, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Splendor. You are forward of midship. 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 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.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is two decks up, about 7 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 it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 42nd cabin position of 45 along Deck 10.

An Interior Upper/Lower gives you 160 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 steadier in a swell than 84 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
