Cabin 2326 · Carnival Dream

Cabin 2326 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 2326 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Dream. You are 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. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

The lift bank sits on the deck above, roughly 1 cabin along the ship 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 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 184 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 80th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Cove Balcony grade runs 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 steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship and better placed for getting around than 96 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
