Cabin 5264 · Carnival Pride

Cabin 5264 is an Ocean Suite (category OS1) on Carnival Pride, 275 to 287 square feet plus a private balcony of 46 to 85 square feet. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 5264 is an Ocean Suite on Deck 5, the Upper deck, of Carnival Pride. You are well aft. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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 3 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

Ivory 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, 6 out of 10.

Of the 94 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 92nd from forward. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Ocean Suite grade runs 275-287 square feet. The balcony adds another 46-85 on top of that. At suite level you are buying more than square feet. Suites almost always carry priority boarding and priority disembarkation, and the higher grades on most lines add a restaurant, a lounge or a sun deck of their own. Junior and entry level suites often get none of that, so it is worth checking what this particular grade includes rather than assuming the whole list comes with the word.

A word on loyalty, because the grade misleads people here. Carnival Rewards replaced VIFP on 1 September 2026 and it counts what you spend, not the nights you sail or the room you book, so this suite earns at the same rate per dollar as an interior does. What the grade buys you is the room and the service, not faster status. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 1,067 cabins on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 98 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
