Cabin 1209 · Carnival Pride

Cabin 1209 is an Ocean View (category 6A1) on Carnival Pride, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 1209 is an Ocean View on Deck 1, the Riviera deck, of Carnival Pride, and it sits midship. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is on the deck above, about 1 cabin 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, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 44th cabin position of 74 along Deck 1. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

An Ocean View gives you 158-243 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 1,067 cabins on board, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
