Cabin 8240 · Carnival Magic

Cabin 8240 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Carnival Magic, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8240 is a Balcony on Deck 8 of Carnival Magic, far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

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 162 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 28th 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 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.
