Cabin 9197 · Carnival Valor

Cabin 9197 is a Scenic Ocean View (category 6J1) on Carnival Valor, 220 to 230 square feet.

Cabin 9197 is a Scenic Ocean View on Deck 9, the Lido deck, of Carnival Valor, and it sits far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 4 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 it is 1 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 1st cabin position of 46 along Deck 9. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

A Scenic Ocean View gives you 220-230 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board, livelier in a swell than most of them and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
