Cabin 5232 · Carnival Luminosa

Cabin 5232 is a Balcony on Carnival Luminosa, 185 to 237 square feet.

Cabin 5232 is a Balcony on Deck 5 of Carnival Luminosa, far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

A stairwell sits on the deck above, roughly 1 cabin 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 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 171 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 22nd from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 185-237 square feet. 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 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
