Cabin 8327 · Carnival Glory

Cabin 8327 is a Balcony (category 8D1) on Carnival Glory, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 8327 is a Balcony on Deck 8, the Verandah deck, of Carnival Glory, and it sits midship. 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.

We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 178 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 83rd from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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, steadier in a swell than 83 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 87 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
