Cabin 8243 · Carnival Miracle

Cabin 8243 is a Balcony (category 8E1) on Carnival Miracle, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8243 is a Balcony on Deck 8, the Panorama deck, of Carnival Miracle, and it sits well aft. 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. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Sliding Sky Dome is two decks up, about 3 cabins 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. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 70th cabin position of 87 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 as quiet as anything on board and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers.
