Cabin 7299 · Carnival Pride

Cabin 7299 is a Premium Balcony (category 9B1) on Carnival Pride, 185 to 230 square feet plus a private balcony of 75 to 85 square feet.

Cabin 7299 is a Premium Balcony on Deck 7, the Verandah deck, of Carnival Pride, and it sits aft of midship. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Pool sits two decks up, roughly 18 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 10 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 121 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 99th from forward.

The Premium Balcony grade runs 185-230 square feet. The balcony adds another 75-85 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 as quiet as anything on board and 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.
