Cabin 7428 · Carnival Dream

Cabin 7428 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Carnival Dream.

Cabin 7428 is a Balcony on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Dream, and it sits 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 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is two decks down, about 3 cabins along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 149th cabin position of 167 along Deck 7.

It is booked as a 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 better placed for getting around than 96 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
