Cabin 5243 · Carnival Pride

Cabin 5243 is a Premium Balcony (category 9A1) on Carnival Pride, 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 Pride, and it sits aft of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Warehouse 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 94 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 70th from forward.

The Premium Balcony grade runs 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. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
