Cabin 16252 · Carnival Celebration

Cabin 16252 is a Balcony (category 8G) on Carnival Celebration.

Cabin 16252 is a Balcony on Deck 16 of Carnival Celebration, and it sits far forward. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 5 cabins along the corridor to the lift bank. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. We give it 9 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 15th cabin position of 40 along Deck 16. Deck 16 also has Bridge, Lido Marketplace, Tides Pool and Big Chicken on it. There are 89 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is short and rarely busy.

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 livelier in a swell than most of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
