Cabin 8270A · Scarlet Lady

Cabin 8270A is a Ltd View Sea Terrace on Deck 8 of Scarlet Lady. You are forward of midship. There is some movement here, more than midship and a good deal less than the ends. Most people never think about it. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

The Manor sits on the deck below, roughly 1 cabin 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. Quiet scores 3 out of 10. There is enough going on nearby that a light sleeper should think about it. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 128 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 35th from forward.

The Ltd View Sea Terrace grade runs 225.3 square feet. 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 1,396 cabins on board and better placed for getting around than 79 per cent of them. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
