Cabin 8130 · Carnival Spirit

Cabin 8130 is a Balcony (category 8E1) on Carnival Spirit, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8130 is a Balcony on Deck 8, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Spirit, and it sits far forward. 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 well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Spa Cloud is on the deck above, about 1 cabin 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, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 17th cabin position of 96 along Deck 8.

A Balcony gives you 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,067 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 95 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
