Cabin 12398 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 12398 is a Balcony (category 8E) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 12398 is a Balcony on Deck 12 of Carnival Celebration, and it sits midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are all but on top of the lift bank, about 1 cabin away. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 108th cabin position of 202 along Deck 12. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

It is booked as a Balcony. 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 steadier in a swell than 94 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
