Cabin 5296 · Carnival Jubilee

Cabin 5296 is a Cove Balcony (category 7C) on Carnival Jubilee.

Cabin 5296 is a Cove Balcony on Deck 5 of Carnival Jubilee, midship. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Piano Bar 88 is on the deck above, about 1 cabin 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. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 51st cabin position of 164 along Deck 5. Deck 5 also has Spa Treatment Rooms, Thermal Suites, Cloud 9 Spa and Salon on it. There are 286 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

It is booked as a Cove Balcony. 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 2,688 cabins on board and steadier in a swell than 85 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
