Cabin 4473 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 4473 is an Ocean View (category 6A1) on Mardi Gras, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 4473 is an Ocean View on Deck 4 of Mardi Gras, 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. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

A stairwell sits two decks up, roughly 8 cabins 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 142 cabin positions on Deck 4, this is the 140th from forward. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Ocean View grade runs 158-243 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 better placed for getting around than 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
