Cabin 1253 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 1253 is a Deluxe Ocean View (category 6M1) on Carnival Magic, 220 to 312 square feet.

Cabin 1253 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 1 of Carnival Magic, 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.

Shore Excursions 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 123 cabin positions on Deck 1, this is the 21st from forward.

The Deluxe Ocean View grade runs 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.
