Cabin 16289 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 16289 is an Interior (category 4I1) on Mardi Gras, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 16289 is an Interior on Deck 16 of Mardi Gras, and it sits forward of midship. 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 will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Serenity sits two decks up, roughly 7 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 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 63 cabin positions on Deck 16, this is the 55th from forward.

The Interior grade runs 149-185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
