Cabin 2302 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 2302 is a Cove Balcony (category 7C1) on Carnival Magic, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 44 to 45 square feet.

Cabin 2302 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 2 of Carnival Magic, 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. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is on the deck above, about 1 cabin along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 10 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 63rd cabin position of 193 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 as quiet as anything on board, as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
