Cabin 2423 · Carnival Dream

Cabin 2423 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 2423 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 2, the Main deck, of Carnival Dream. You are aft 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is on the deck above, about 13 cabins 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 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 134th 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 better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
