Cabin 1280 · Carnival Freedom

Cabin 1280 is an Ocean View (category 6B) on Carnival Freedom.

Cabin 1280 is an Ocean View on Deck 1, the Riviera deck, of Carnival Freedom, and it sits 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. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Victoriana Main Lounge sits two decks up, roughly 6 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, 6 out of 10.

Of the 143 cabin positions on Deck 1, this is the 42nd from forward.

It is booked as an Ocean View. 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 steadier in a swell than 83 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
