Cabin 1238 · Carnival Dream

Cabin 1238 is a Deluxe Ocean View (category 6M1) on Carnival Dream, 220 to 312 square feet.

Cabin 1238 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 1, the Riviera deck, of Carnival Dream. You are forward of 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. 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.

On the ship's plan Shore Excursions is two decks up, about 9 cabins along 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.

Counting from the bow, it is the 32nd cabin position of 164 along Deck 1.

A Deluxe Ocean View gives you 220-312 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.

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