Cabin 8318 · Carnival Luminosa

Cabin 8318 is a Balcony on Carnival Luminosa, 185 to 237 square feet.

Cabin 8318 is a Balcony on Deck 8 of Carnival Luminosa, midship. 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. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

It is 5 cabins along the corridor to Pool. Close enough to be useful, far enough that it should not keep you awake. 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 98th cabin position of 161 along Deck 8. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. Deck 8 also has Pool on it. There are 187 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a fairly ordinary length.

A Balcony gives you 185-237 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 1,101 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 89 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 83 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
