Cabin 5131 · Carnival Spirit

Cabin 5131 is an Extended Balcony (category 8J1) on Carnival Spirit, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 square feet.

Cabin 5131 is an Extended Balcony on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Spirit, far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Palace Main Lounge sits two decks down, roughly 5 cabins 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, 7 out of 10.

Of the 86 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 15th from forward.

The Extended Balcony grade runs 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 better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
