Cabin 5243 · Carnival Miracle

Cabin 5243 is a Premium Balcony (category 9A1) on Carnival Miracle, 185 to 230 square feet plus a private balcony of 75 to 85 square feet.

Cabin 5243 is a Premium Balcony on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Miracle, and it sits aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Sam's Piano Bar is two decks down, about 5 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, 8 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 70th cabin position of 94 along Deck 5.

A Premium Balcony gives you 185-230 square feet. The balcony adds another 75-85 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 as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
