Cabin 6257 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 6257 is a Balcony (category 8A1) on Carnival Magic, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 6257 is a Balcony on Deck 6 of Carnival Magic, far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

Showtime Theatre sits on the deck below, roughly 7 cabins 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 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 171 cabin positions on Deck 6, this is the 24th from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 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 further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
