Cabin 2495 · Carnival Venezia

Cabin 2495 is an Aft-View Extended Balcony (category 8M1) on Carnival Venezia, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 to 100 square feet.

Cabin 2495 is an Aft-View Extended Balcony on Deck 2 of Carnival Venezia. You are 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. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. 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 2 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

Venezia sits two decks up, roughly 1 cabin along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. 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.

Of the 231 cabin positions on Deck 2, this is the 226th from forward.

The Aft-View Extended Balcony grade runs 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 60-100 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, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 87 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
