Cabin 5117 · Carnival Miracle

Cabin 5117 is an Extended Balcony (category 8J1) on Carnival Miracle, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 square feet.

Cabin 5117 is an Extended Balcony on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Miracle, and it sits far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Phantom Main Lounge is two decks down, about 7 cabins along 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 it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 8th cabin position of 94 along Deck 5.

An Extended Balcony gives you 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 60 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 and livelier in a swell than most of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
