You are right beside Giovanni's Table, some 1 cabin along the corridor. Handy, though worth knowing about if you sleep lightly. Giovanni's Table, on the starboard side of Central Park, deck 8.

Counting from the bow, it is the 74th cabin position of 171 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 Vintages, Coach and the Art Gallery, Bar and Park Cafe on it. There are 329 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

An Ocean View with Large Balcony gives you 195 square feet. The balcony adds another 39 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.

Worth knowing before you book: Crown and Anchor pays one cruise point a night at this grade. A suite pays two, and so does sailing solo on a double occupancy fare, which is the cheaper of the two routes if you are travelling alone anyway.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 2,887 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 88 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
