Cabin 5224 · Carnival Venezia

Cabin 5224 is a Terrazza Cabana (category TE1) on Carnival Venezia, 185 square feet plus a private balcony of 100 square feet.

Cabin 5224 is a Terrazza Cabana on Deck 5 of Carnival Venezia, and it sits well aft. 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 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Casino sits on the deck below, roughly 6 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. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 34 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 17th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Terrazza Cabana grade runs 185 square feet. The balcony adds another 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 noisier than three quarters of the 2,045 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 76 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
