Cabin 2289 · Carnival Dream

Cabin 2289 is a Cove Balcony (category 7C1) on Carnival Dream, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 44 to 45 square feet.

Cabin 2289 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Dream, 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.

On the ship's plan Encore! Main Lounge is on the deck above, about 3 cabins along from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 52nd cabin position of 184 along Deck 2.

A Cove Balcony gives you 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 44-45 on top of that. 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,824 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 82 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 96 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
