Cabin 5345 · Carnival Sunshine

Cabin 5345 is an Aft-View Extended Balcony (category 8M1) on Carnival Sunshine, 185 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 60 to 100 square feet.

Cabin 5345 is an Aft-View Extended Balcony on Deck 5, the Promenade deck, of Carnival Sunshine. You are well aft. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. 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.

On the ship's plan Piano Bar is on the deck below, about 2 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. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 25th cabin position of 25 along Deck 5. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

An Aft-View Extended Balcony gives you 185-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 60-100 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,507 cabins on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
