Cabin 2289 · Carnival Valor

Cabin 2289 is an Ocean View (category 6C1) on Carnival Valor, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 2289 is an Ocean View on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Valor, 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. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Ivanhoe Theatre is on the deck above, about 5 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 it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 36th cabin position of 138 along Deck 2.

An Ocean View gives you 158-243 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,492 cabins on board and steadier in a swell than 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
