Cabin 2485 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 2485 is a Deluxe Ocean View (category 6M1) on Carnival Magic, 220 to 312 square feet.

Cabin 2485 is a Deluxe Ocean View on Deck 2 of Carnival Magic, and it sits well aft. 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 well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is on the deck above, about 4 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, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 186th cabin position of 193 along Deck 2.

A Deluxe Ocean View gives you 220-312 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 livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
