Cabin 9408 · Mardi Gras

Cabin 9408 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Mardi Gras.

Cabin 9408 is a Balcony on Deck 9 of Mardi Gras, midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. 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 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 218 cabin positions on Deck 9, this is the 124th 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.

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.
