Cabin 1279 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 1279 is a Deluxe Ocean View (category 6M1) on Carnival Magic, 220 to 312 square feet.

Cabin 1279 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 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is two decks up, about 4 cabins 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 35th cabin position of 123 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.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board and steadier in a swell than 84 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
