Cabin 5240 · Carnival Spirit

Cabin 5240 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Carnival Spirit.

Cabin 5240 is a Balcony on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Spirit. You are well aft. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Shanghai Piano sits two decks down, roughly 1 cabin 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 86 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 72nd from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 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 1,067 cabins on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
