Cabin 12027 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 12027 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony (category 8S1) on Carnival Magic, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 44 square feet.

Cabin 12027 is a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony on Deck 12, the Spa & Sports deck, of Carnival Magic, 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. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Salon sits two decks up, roughly 3 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 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.

Of the 24 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 19th 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.

It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
