Cabin 2263 · Carnival Dream

Cabin 2263 is a Deluxe Ocean View (category 6M1) on Carnival Dream, 220 to 312 square feet.

Cabin 2263 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Dream, and it sits far forward. 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. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Encore! Main Lounge sits on the deck above, roughly 15 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 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 184 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 39th 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. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
