Cabin 11278 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 11278 is a Balcony (category 8G1) on Carnival Magic, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 11278 is a Balcony on Deck 11 of Carnival Magic, 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 7 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, 6 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 50th cabin position of 50 along Deck 11. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

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 as quiet as anything on board and better placed for getting around than 94 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
