Cabin 1280 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 1280 is a Deluxe Ocean View (category 6M1) on Carnival Magic, 220 to 312 square feet.

Cabin 1280 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 1 of Carnival Magic, 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.

The lift bank sits two decks up, roughly 3 cabins along the ship 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 123 cabin positions on Deck 1, this is the 37th 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.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board, steadier in a swell than 84 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.
