Cabin 1109 · Carnival Glory

Cabin 1109 is a Balcony (category 8F1) on Carnival Glory, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 1109 is a Balcony on Deck 11, the Spa deck, of Carnival Glory, 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 will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is on the deck above, about 2 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. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 10th cabin position of 13 along Deck 11.

A Balcony gives you 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,492 cabins on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
