Cabin 5299 · Carnival Luminosa

Cabin 5299 is a Balcony on Carnival Luminosa, 185 to 237 square feet.

Cabin 5299 is a Balcony on Deck 5 of Carnival Luminosa, and it sits midship. 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.

It is 5 cabins along the corridor to a stairwell. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 77th cabin position of 171 along Deck 5. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

A Balcony gives you 185-237 square feet. 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 steadier in a swell than 89 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
