Cabin 9397 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 9397 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Mardi Gras.

Cabin 9397 is a Balcony on Deck 9 of Mardi Gras. You are 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.

Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 120th cabin position of 218 along Deck 9. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

It is booked as a Balcony. 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 2,638 cabins on board and steadier in a swell than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
